            Bug ID: 96105
           Summary: GCC not consistent on whether no_unique_address array
                    is an empty data member
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: accepts-invalid, rejects-valid, wrong-code
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: hstong at ca dot ibm.com
  Target Milestone: ---

GCC treats an array marked `no_unique_address` and whose base element type is
an empty class as not an empty data member in `C` but does treat such an array
as an empty data member in `A` for the purposes of `B`. It appears that GCC's
handling of `B` is erroneous.

### SOURCE (<stdin>):
struct Empty {};

struct A {
  Empty emp [[no_unique_address]][3];
};

struct B : A {
  float f;
};

struct C {
  Empty emp [[no_unique_address]][3];
  float f;
};

extern char szc[sizeof(C)];
extern char szc[sizeof(float) * 2];  // GCC likes this
extern char szb[sizeof(B)];
extern char szb[sizeof(float) * 2];  // GCC does not like this


### COMPILER INVOCATION:
g++ -fsyntax-only -std=c++2a -Wall -Wextra -pedantic-errors -xc++ -


### ACTUAL OUTPUT:
<stdin>:19:13: error: conflicting declaration 'char szb [8]'
<stdin>:18:13: note: previous declaration as 'char szb [4]'


### EXPECTED OUTPUT:
(clean compile)


### COMPILER VERSION INFO (g++ -v):
Using built-in specs.
