Description

@marralesfios

Environment

  • OS and Version: x64, Arch Linux (7.2.3.arch1-2)
  • VS Code Version: 1.136.1 commit a44adf7f53e00964ab890f9f8758a334f1fc15bc
  • C/C++ Extension Version: 1.34.3 pre-release
  • If using SSH remote, specify OS of remote machine: N/A

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary: IntelliSense gives a "class has more than one default constructor" error on well-formed code (at least both GCC and Clang accept it):

struct B1{};
struct B2{};
struct D : B1, B2{
    using B1::B1;
    using B2::B2;
    D(int){}
};

int main(){
    D v;         // error on this line
    (void)v;
    return 0;
}

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new folder, open it as a workspace, and copy bug.cpp into it
  2. Open the file
  3. See error

Expected behavior: No error is raised.
