Doesn't build with Clang 18.1.0

[checkraisefold]

On the latest major release (candidate) of Clang, sol2 flat out doesn't compile with a fatal error and spits out a bunch of warnings.

I have this issue too. For what it's worth, replacing upvalue_this_member_variable::call()'s noexcept(std::is_nothrow_copy_assignable_v<T>) specification by either noexcept(true), noexcept(false) or even removing it entirely seems to "fix" it for some reason. I don't really understand that behavior right now, but maybe that can help a bit.

Same issue here while building MAME, latest MSYS2 has just deployed LLVM 18.1 components.

Possibly related to the following Clang bugfix "Clang will correctly evaluate noexcept expression for template functions of template classes." - see https://prereleases.llvm.org/18.1.0/rc3/tools/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.html

The workaround from Razakhel above resolves compilation but the binary is non-working.

Binary is working now with compilation workaround, was unrelated error my part.

I think this is a bug in clang. The noexcept specification isn’t part of the function type. You can see it accepts it without a noexcept specification at all or with a fixed noexcept (which will obviously cause issues if the assignment can throw an exception). Is it possible to create a minimal case exposing this to report upstream?

[cuavas]

OK, it’s actually pretty easy to reproduce – this builds with clang 17 but not with clang 18 as C++17:

template <typename T>
struct class_tmpl {
    template <bool B> static void call_e() { }
    template <bool B> static void call_ne() noexcept { }
    template <bool B> static void call() noexcept(sizeof(T) > 1) { }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    using function_ptr = void (*)();
    function_ptr f1 = &class_tmpl<int>::call_e<false>;
    function_ptr f2 = &class_tmpl<int>::call_ne<false>;
    function_ptr f3 = &class_tmpl<int>::call<false>;
    return 0;
}

Results:

test.cpp:13:24: error: address of overloaded function 'call' does not match required type 'void ()'
   13 |     function_ptr f3 = &class_tmpl<int>::call<false>;
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test.cpp:5:35: note: candidate template ignored: substitution failure [with B = false]
    5 |     template <bool B> static void call() noexcept(sizeof(T) > 1) { }
      |                                   ^

Fixed in llvm main branch by llvm/llvm-project#90760. I don't know when this will make it into a clang release.

[checkraisefold]

Cool, I'll close this as soon as it's in a Clang release and tested

You can use this workaround in the mean time:

That's on the single-header version, but you should be able to work out how to apply it to the source headers.

Hey @ThePhD
What do you think if I make a PR to include workaround from this comment above to main branch? It seems clang-16/clang-17/clang-18 all have this issue.
