c++: new-expr of array of deduced class tmpl [PR101988]
In r12-1933 I attempted to implement DR2397 aka allowing
int a[3];
auto (&r)[3] = a;
by removing the type_uses_auto check in create_array_type_for_decl.
That may have gone too far, because it also allows arrays of
CLASS_PLACEHOLDER_TEMPLATE and it looks like [dcl.type.class.deduct]
prohibits that: "...the declared type of the variable shall be cv T,
where T is the placeholder." However, in /2 it explicitly states that
"A placeholder for a deduced class type can also be used in the
type-specifier-seq in the new-type-id or type-id of a new-expression."
In this PR, it manifested by making us accept invalid
template<class T> struct A { A(T); };
auto p = new A[]{1};
[expr.new]/2 says that such a construct is treated as an invented
declaration of the form
A x[]{1};
but, I think, that ought to be ill-formed as per above. So this patch
sort of restores the create_array_type_for_decl check. I should mention
that the difference between [] and [1] is due to cp_parser_new_type_id:
if (*nelts == NULL_TREE)
/* Leave [] in the declarator. */;
and groktypename returning different types based on that.
