C++20 概念:GCC 和 Clang 中具有指针类型成员的复合需求表达式的行为差异

C++20 Concepts: Difference in the behavior of the compound requirement expression with a pointer-type member in GCC and Clang

考虑以下代码 (Godbolt):

#include <iostream>
//#include <concepts>
#include <type_traits>

// Since the latest clang doesn't have <concepts>,
// took this here: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concepts/same_as
// Using of std::same_as still gives an error in GCC.
namespace detail {
    template< class T, class U >
    concept SameHelper = std::is_same_v<T, U>;
}

template< class T, class U >
concept same_as = detail::SameHelper<T, U> && detail::SameHelper<U, T>;

template<typename T>
concept HasStr = requires(T a) { { a.str } -> same_as<const char*>; };

struct A {
    const char* str = "A";
};

const char* f(HasStr auto has_str) {
    return has_str.str;
}

int main() {
    A a;
    std::cout << f(a) << "\n";
    return 0;
}

Clang 10.0.1 成功编译该程序。但是 GCC 10.2 失败了:

<source>: In function 'int main()':
<source>:28:21: error: use of function 'const char* f(auto:11) [with auto:11 = A]' with unsatisfied constraints

最有趣的部分是:

<source>:9:31: note: the expression 'is_same_v<T, U> [with T = const char*&; U = const char*]' evaluated to 'false'

据我了解,在复合要求 { a.str } 中,表达式的类型为 const char*& 而不是 const char*。那么,为什么会这样呢?哪个编译器是正确的?

根据我对 [expr.prim.req.compound]/1 的阅读,GCC 发出错误是正确的:

The immediately-declared constraint ([temp.param]) of the type-constraint for decltype((E)) shall be satisfied.

附带示例:

requires {
  { E1 } -> C;
  { E2 } -> D<A₁, ⋯, An>;
};

is equivalent to

requires {
  E1; requires C<decltype((E1))>;
  E2; requires D<decltype((E2)), A₁, ⋯, An>;
};

decltype((a.str)) 确实是 const char*&,所以我希望这就是传递给 same_as.
