The following C++ code that uses a compound literal (GCC language extension) fails to compile:
template< int n >
struct Foo { };
void init_foo( Foo<0> *p ) {
*p = (Foo<0>){ }; // error: a compound literal of type "Foo<0>" is not allowed
}
The issue appears to be that the compiler is neglecting to implicitly instantiate the template type, since the error disappears if the type Foo<0> has already been (explicitly or implicitly) instantiated prior to using the compound literal, e.g. this compiles just fine:
template< int n >
struct Foo { };
Foo<0> blah; // implicitly instantiates Foo<0>
void init_foo( Foo<0> *p ) {
*p = (Foo<0>){ };
}
I've tested the latest clpru (v2.3.3) as well as the cl7x I had lying around (v3.1.0.LTS), presumably it applies to all TI compilers that share the same C/C++ frontend code.
