[pushed] c++: prvalue array decay [PR94264]
Checks
Commit Message
Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, applying to trunk.

My change for PR53220 made array to pointer decay for prvalue arrays
ill-formed to catch well-defined C code that produces a dangling pointer in
C++ due to the shorter lifetime of compound literals. This wasn't really
correct, but wasn't a problem until C++17 added prvalue arrays, at which
point it started rejecting valid C++ code.
I wanted to make sure that we still diagnose the problematic code;
-Wdangling-pointer covers the array-lit.c case, but I needed to extend
-Wreturn-local-addr to handle the return case.

gcc/c/ChangeLog:
* c-typeck.cc (array_to_pointer_conversion): Adjust -Wc++-compat
diagnostic.
gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
* call.cc (convert_like_internal): Remove obsolete comment.
* typeck.cc (decay_conversion): Allow array prvalue.
(maybe_warn_about_returning_address_of_local): Check
for returning pointer to temporary.
gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* c-c++-common/array-lit.c: Adjust.
* g++.dg/cpp1z/array-prvalue1.C: New test.
* g++.dg/ext/complit17.C: New test.
