Bug ID: 103084
Summary: Accepts invalid using enum declaration with an invalid
elaborated-type-specifier
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: aaron at aaronballman dot com
Target Milestone: ---
GCC (and MSVC) currently accepts the following snippet while Clang and ICC
reject:
```
enum class Pig { Oink };
using Hog = Pig;
using enum Hog; // Clang & ICC rejects, GCC & MSVC accepts
```
I think Clang and ICC are correct to reject this code.
http://eel.is/c++draft/enum.udecl says that the production needs to parse an
elaborated-enum-specifier. One of the requirements for a valid
elaborated-enum-specifier is that the elaboration has to agree in kind with the
given declaration (https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.type.elab#6). In this case, the
given declaration is not an enum, it's a type alias.
Note that all compilers reject the following slightly different example due to
the elaborated type specifier being invalid:
```
enum class Pig { Oink };
using Hog = Pig;
enum Hog H; // Everyone rejects
```
