Mark Mitchel's commit to fix PR c++/16405 introduced a miscompilation
in Qt. It took me a few weeks to deduce a testcase. testcase is:
=== Cut ===
extern "C" void abort( void );
struct A
{
A() { d = d2 = 0; width = -1; }
A( int _w ) : d( 0 ), d2( 0 ), width( _w ) {}
A b( const A &r ) const;
int d;
int d2;
int width;
};
A A::b( const A &r ) const
{
A tmp;
tmp.width = width < r.width ? width : r.width;
return tmp;
}
int main()
{
A a( 100 );
a = a.b( A( 10 ) );
if ( a.width != 10 )
abort();
}
=== Cut ===
The issue is that the result of "a.b(A (10))" is never copied to a, hence
the if() afterwards fails.
