             Bug #: 53401
           Summary: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault on
                    infinite argument deduction of constexpr templates
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: ai.azuma@gmail.com


Created attachment 27434

Outputs from -v option (repeated error messages are snipped) and preprocessed
source.

The following invalid code causes an ICE with GCC 4.8.0 20120513 (experimental)
and -std=c++11.


/////////////////////////////////////////////
template<int I>
struct index
{};

constexpr int recursive_impl(index<0u>)

  return 0;
}

template<int N>
constexpr auto recursive_impl(index<N>)       // Line 11
  -> decltype(recursive_impl(index<N - 1>()))
{
  return recursive_impl(index<N - 1>());
}

template<int N>
constexpr auto recursive()

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.


The above-mentioned code is invalid because there isn't anything to prevent the
compiler from trying infinite template argument deduction in the second
overload of `recursive_impl' (Line 11). So, I expect error messages like
"template instantiation depth exceeds maximum...". However, the compiler dies
in segmentation fault.

`constexpr' is necessary to reproduce the ICE. Otherwise, the compiler outputs
ordinary error messages as expected.

4.6.4 20120511 (prerelease) and 4.7.1 20120512 (prerelease) also cause the same
problem, too.
