Description
Boost.Variant fails if its types have a private default constructor, using gcc 12.2
Minimal example: https://godbolt.org/z/cG4PnW8ee
#include <boost/variant.hpp>
#include <boost/variant2.hpp>
class Foo
{
public:
Foo(int a_) : a(a_) {}
int a;
private:
Foo();
};
struct Voo
{
Foo f;
double d;
};
struct Doo
{
Foo f;
int s;
};
#ifndef USE_VARIANT2
using VooDoo = boost::variant<Voo, Doo>;
void testVooDoo(const VooDoo& voodoo)
{
VooDoo v{Voo{Foo(3)}};
}
#else
using VooDoo = boost::variant2::variant<Voo, Doo>;
void testVooDoo(const VooDoo& voodoo)
{
VooDoo v{Voo{Foo(3)}};
}
#endif
If I change to use Boost.Variant2, it works.
If I go back to gcc 7.5, it works (fails after that version).
The error shows:
/opt/compiler-explorer/libs/boost_1_80_0/boost/variant/variant.hpp:194:17: required from 'struct boost::detail::variant::find_fallback_type<boost::mpl::l_item<mpl_::long_<2>, Voo, boost::mpl::l_item<mpl_::long_<1>, Doo, boost::mpl::l_end> > >'

It mentions find_fallback_type, so I guess that at some point it tries to determine the "fallback type" to default construct the VooDoo.
However, nowhere in my program I need to default construct a VooDoo, so I'm not sure why that type needs to be "computed".
Also, somehow Boost.Variant2 doesn't fail, so there must be a way to make this work.
