Description Jonathan Wakely 2011-01-18 15:15:18 UTC
There are several bugs about failure to do access checking for template parameters and in function templates (PR 40901, PR 41437, PR 45011, PR 45917) but I don't think this is a dup of any of them

class C
{
  struct Private { };
};

template<typename T>
struct exploit1
{
    typedef C::Private type;
};

exploit1<int>::type x1;   // error

// similarly for base-specifier
template<typename T>
struct exploit2 : C::Private
{
};

exploit2<int> x2;   // error

Comment 2 Dodji Seketeli 2011-08-11 18:41:53 UTC
Another variation of the same theme is:

class C
{
    struct Private { };
};

template<typename T>
struct exploit3
{
    template<class U = C::Private>
    struct E {};
};

void
bar()
{
    exploit3<int>::E<> e;
}

Work in progress patch

I am currently testing this patch.

The problem I see is twofold.

First, the infrastructure I added a while back to do access checking of references to types, at template instantiation time,  was limited to typedefs.

This bug seems to suggest that the access checking should be done for references to all types.  Not just typedefs.

Second, add_typedef_to_current_template_for_access_check assumes that a "current template" is present.  When we are parsing the class header (for e.g the base clause) or the template parameter list, the "current template" is not present yet.  In that case, a possible solution is the stash away, for some short while, the types access that is to be checked, until the current template becomes available.

This is the approach taken by this patch.

Out of curiosity, does the posted patch fix at once *all* the issues mentioned in the Description? It would be great to have it!

Yes it does, AFAICT.

> It would be great to have it!

I am onto something else at the moment, but I intend to address Jason's
comment to the patch I posted when I am done.  Sorry for the delay.
Comment 7 Paolo Carlini 2011-09-30 10:33:15 UTC
Great. By the way, I think I didn't see any comment, that's why I asked ;)
Comment 8 dodji@seketeli.org 2011-09-30 11:41:14 UTC
The comment was posted in another month:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-09/msg00536.html

Another hint at why we need  a better patch/comments tracker :)

Comment 10 Jason Merrill 2013-03-27 13:28:24 UTC
Even simpler:

class B { struct C {}; };
template <class T> struct A { B::C c; };
A<int> a;

    c++: Improve access checking inside templates [PR41437]
    
    This patch generalizes our existing functionality for deferring access
    checking of typedefs when parsing a function or class template to now
    defer all kinds of access checks until template instantiation time,
    including member function and member object accesses.
    
    Since all access checks eventually go through enforce_access, the main
    component of this patch is new handling inside enforce_access to defer
    the current access check if we're inside a template.  The bulk of the
    rest of the patch consists of removing now-unneeded code pertaining to
    suppressing access checks inside templates or pertaining to
    typedef-specific access handling.  Renamings and other changes with no
    functional impact have been split off into the followup patch.

    c++: Clean up previous change [PR41437]
    
    The previous patch mostly avoided making any changes that had no
    functional impact, such as adjusting now-outdated comments and
    performing renamings.  Such changes have been consolidated to this
    followup patch for easier review.
    
    The main change here is that we now reuse struct deferred_access_check
    as the element type of the vector TI_TYPEDEFS_NEEDING_ACCESS_CHECKING
    (now renamed to TI_DEFERRED_ACCESS_CHECKS, since it may contain any kind
    of access check).
