From 5a8832b1659e311437d25b7ec8b078be27ae54b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Wakely Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2021 11:53:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] libstdc++: Change std::variant union member to empty struct This more clearly expresses the intent (a completely unused, trivial type) than using char. It's also consistent with the unions in std::optional. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: * include/std/variant (_Uninitialized): Use an empty struct for the unused union member, instead of char. --- libstdc++-v3/include/std/variant | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/include/std/variant b/libstdc++-v3/include/std/variant index d18365fde22d..3da7dad1e829 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/include/std/variant +++ b/libstdc++-v3/include/std/variant @@ -293,8 +293,10 @@ namespace __variant constexpr _Type&& _M_get() && noexcept { return std::move(_M_storage); } + struct _Empty_byte { }; + union { - char _M_nope; + _Empty_byte _M_empty; _Type _M_storage; }; #else -- 2.47.2
