Description Joseph C. Sible 2021-11-05 06:29:55 UTC
The C++17 standard says "A program that jumps from a point where a variable with automatic storage duration is not in scope to a point where it is in scope is ill-formed unless the variable has scalar type, class type with a trivial default constructor and a trivial destructor, a cv-qualified version of one of these types, or an array of one of the preceding types and is declared without an initializer (11.6)."

The C++20 standard says "A program that jumps from a point where a variable with automatic storage duration is not in scope to a point where it is in scope is ill-formed unless the variable has vacuous initialization (6.7.3)." and "A variable is said to have vacuous initialization if it is default-initialized and, if it is of class type or a (possibly multi-dimensional) array thereof, that class type has a trivial default constructor."

Note that the C++17 standard mentions a trivial destructor here, but the C++20 standard does not. Now consider this code:

struct MyStruct {
    ~MyStruct() {}
};
void foo() {
    goto x;
    MyStruct s;
x:
    return;
}

It's ill-formed in C++17, but fine in C++20. However, we currently reject this program even with -std=c++20.

Confirmed. The C++ spec was changed by DR2256 which is consider CD5.

(In reply to Andrew Pinski from comment #2)
> which is consider CD5.

That's just a detail of which draft of was included in, which doesn't mean much. More relevant is that it was approved as a DR so it applies to C++17 (and earlier) too.

    c++: goto entering scope of obj w/ non-trivial dtor [PR103091]
    
    It seems ever since DR 2256 goto is permitted to cross the initialization
    of a trivially initialized object with a non-trivial destructor.  We
    already supported this as an -fpermissive extension, so this patch just
    makes us unconditionally support this.

    gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
    
            * decl.cc (decl_jump_unsafe): Return bool instead of int.
            Don't consider TYPE_HAS_NONTRIVIAL_DESTRUCTOR.
            (check_previous_goto_1): Simplify now that decl_jump_unsafe
            returns bool instead of int.
            (check_goto): Likewise.
    
    gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
            * g++.old-deja/g++.other/init9.C: Don't expect diagnostics for
            goto made valid by DR 2256.
            * g++.dg/init/goto4.C: New test.

Fixed for GCC 14, thanks for the report.
