Description Dave Malcolm 2025-01-06 22:46:32 UTC 
I'm experimentally rebuilding rawhide with the not-yet-released GCC 15 to see if anything breaks, and to help write the porting guide.  See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Dmalcolm/gcc-15

My test build with GCC 15 failed:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dmalcolm/gcc-15-smoketest-3.failed/build/8476063/

whereas my test build with GCC 14 succeeded:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dmalcolm/gcc-15-smoketest-3.failed.checker/build/8477622/

Looking at the failure logs e.g.
https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/dmalcolm/gcc-15-smoketest-3.failed/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/08476063-actor-framework/builder-live.log.gz
I see:

      |                                                       ^~~~~

I don't yet know if this is a bug in the package, or in GCC 15, but filing here for now.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Aoife Moloney 2025-02-26 13:21:28 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.
