Description Marek Polacek 2019-08-05 16:35:22 UTC
As per <http://wg21.link/p0388r4>.
Comment 1 Marek Polacek 2019-09-20 13:43:15 UTC
Sort of depends on CWG 2352 Similar types and reference binding which changed the definition of "reference-related".
Comment 2 Marek Polacek 2019-09-30 17:28:49 UTC
Workin' on it.
Comment 4 Marek Polacek 2019-10-05 16:08:39 UTC
Note to myself: while messing with this, perhaps implement DR 330 too for good measure.  Bug 88128.

Log:
Implement C++20 P0388R4, DR 1307, and DR 330.

This patch implements P0388R4, Permit conversions to arrays of unknown bound,
<http://wg21.link/p0388r4>.  CWG 393 allowed references to arrays of unknown
bound and this C++20 feature allows conversions like

  void f(int(&)[]);
  int arr[1];

  void g() { f(arr); }
  int(&r)[] = arr;

The proposal seemed fairly straightforward but it turned out to be quite
shifty.  I found out that I needed to implement DR 2352 (done), and also
DR 1307 (done in this patch).  The latter DR added wording for
list-initialization ranking of references to arrays which this proposal
extends.  DR 330 was also implemented in this patch.

	PR c++/91364 - P0388R4: Permit conversions to arrays of	unknown bound.
	PR c++/69531 - DR 1307: Differently bounded array parameters.
	PR c++/88128 - DR 330: Qual convs and pointers to arrays of pointers.
	* call.c (build_array_conv): Build ck_identity at the beginning
	of the conversion.
	(standard_conversion): Pass bounds_none to comp_ptr_ttypes_const.
	(maybe_warn_array_conv): New.
	(convert_like_real): Call it.  Add an error message about converting
	from arrays of unknown bounds.
	(conv_get_original_expr): New.
	(nelts_initialized_by_list_init): New.
	(conv_binds_to_array_of_unknown_bound): New.
	(compare_ics): Implement list-initialization ranking based on
	array sizes, as specified in DR 1307 and P0388R.
	* cp-tree.h (comp_ptr_ttypes_const): Adjust declaration.
	(compare_bounds_t): New enum.
	* typeck.c (comp_array_types): New bool and compare_bounds_t
	parameters.  Use them.
	(structural_comptypes): Adjust the call to comp_array_types.
	(similar_type_p): Handle ARRAY_TYPE.
	(build_const_cast_1): Pass bounds_none to comp_ptr_ttypes_const.
	(comp_ptr_ttypes_real): Don't check cv-quals of ARRAY_TYPEs.  Use
	comp_array_types to compare array types.  Look through arrays as per
	DR 330.
	(comp_ptr_ttypes_const): Use comp_array_types to compare array types.
	Look through arrays as per DR 330.

Comment 6 Marek Polacek 2019-10-09 21:01:35 UTC
Implemented for GCC 10.
Comment 7 Will Wray 2020-01-07 16:35:12 UTC
Fails to match for variadic arguments. Reopen or file a new bug?

https://godbolt.org/z/zuJagw

    #include <cstdio>

    void cat(auto const(&...a)[]);
    //void cat(auto const(&...)[]); // REJECT error: variable or field
                                    //              'cat' declared void
    void cat(auto const(&)[]...);   // ACCEPT: is this well formed? (IDK)
    void cat(auto const(&a)[]...);  // ACCEPT: is this well formed? (IDK)
                                    //        can't provide a definition

    // If the char[6] overload below is removed then this [] overload fails:
    //   error: no matching function for call to 'cat(const char [6]...)'
    void cat(auto const(&...cstr)[]) { (puts(cstr),...); }

    void cat(auto const(&...cstr)[6]) { (puts(cstr),...); }

    int main() {
        cat("Hello","world");
    }
Comment 8 Will Wray 2020-01-07 16:58:59 UTC
Reduced example (but still with puts output) https://godbolt.org/z/Ttc2Za

    #include <cstdio>
    void cat(auto const(&...cstr)[]) { (puts(cstr),...); }
    // Comment out this next line[6]
    void cat(auto const(&...cstr)[6]) { (puts(cstr),...); }

    int main() { cat("Hello","world"); }

Fails to match the 1st overload when the 2nd overload is removed

Answering my own question "is this well formed?"

    void cat(auto const(&a)[]...);

Yes; it matches T(&)[] type argument exactly https://godbolt.org/z/NHjPrK
Comment 9 Will Wray 2020-01-07 17:15:42 UTC
The variadic unknown-bound 1st overload matches exact T(&)[] only
https://godbolt.org/z/9qZpWX

#include <cstdio>
void cat(auto const(&...cstr)[]) { (((void)cstr,puts("G'bye")),...); }
void cat(auto const(&...cstr)[6]) { (puts(cstr),...); }

using punk = char(*)[]; // Pointer to UNKnown-bound char array

int main() {
    cat("Hello");  // Outputs "Hello" via 2nd overload
    cat(*punk{});  // Outputs "G'bye" via 1st overload
}

Definitely a new bug, please.
