Hi!

Checking the new constexpr support in the C++0x frontend, I've notices
that there is one place where a plain constant is accepted but a
constexpr is not.
Probably you have guessed (from the subject line above), it is in an
attribute argument, e.g:

constexpr int foo()
{
    return 4;
}
int __attribute__((aligned(4))) a; //ok
int __attribute__((aligned(foo()))) b; //error: requested alignment is
not a constant

IMHO, this code is correct.

The attached patch solves this issue cleanly, I think.
In the included testsuite I've used only the attribute ((aligned)),
but I don't think that should matter too much.

Regards

    constexpr attribute

How about just calling maybe_constant_value call after the 
fold_non_dependent_expr call in cp_parser_parenthesized_expression_list?

Well, I first tried something like this, but the key problem is the
*non_dependent* part, so it does nothing if the expression involves
templates:

$ g++ -std=gnu++0x constexpr-attribute.C
.../constexpr-attribute.C: At global scope:
.../constexpr-attribute.C: In instantiation of S3<int>:
.../constexpr-attribute.C:63:9:   instantiated from here
.../constexpr-attribute.C:59:44: error: requested alignment is not a constant
 void fun() [with T = int]
.../constexpr-attribute.C:33:14:   instantiated from here
.../constexpr-attribute.C:24:7: error: requested alignment is not a constant
.../constexpr-attribute.C:25:7: error: requested alignment is not a constant

BTW, a general question, why isn't there a call to
maybe_constant_value just at the end of fold_non_dependent_expr?

My patch calls maybe_constant_value after taking away any dependent
expression (cplus_decl_attributes does all the job).

Ah, yes, you would also need to call it in apply_late_template_attributes.

I tried combining the two functions at one point but it didn't work so 
well.  It might make sense to try again, though.

The problem is that we don't want to call fold_non_dependent_expr on an 
expression that has already been folded, but it's fine to repeat 
maybe_constant_value.

Sure, I guess calling it in one place is better.  But I think let's wait 
until 4.6.1 for this patch.

Oh, I didn't notice the only-regression-fixes status. No problem.
