             Bug #: 56636
           Summary: strange interaction of dynamic_cast and unique_ptr
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: gcc-bugs@naturalcleaningcalgary.com


The following program produces a segfault at the dynamic_cast.  If I change
std::unique_ptr<int> to int*, or if I drop the dynamic_cast, the segfault goes
away.


#include <memory>

struct A
{
    void F() const
    {
        F_impl();
    }

    virtual std::unique_ptr<int> F_impl() const = 0;
};

template <typename Derived>
    struct A_impl : virtual A
{
    std::unique_ptr<int> F_impl() const override
    {
        dynamic_cast<const Derived &>(*this);
        return nullptr;
    }
};

struct B : virtual A {};

struct C : B, A_impl<C> {};

int main()
{
    C().F();
}


$ g++ -std=c++11 -otest test.cpp && ./test.exe

I am using GCC 4.7.2 under MinGW, configured with "--enable-libstdcxx-debug
--enable-languages=c,c++ --build=pentium4-pc-mingw32 --disable-nls
--disable-win32-registry --enable-threads".
