std::make_unique, anonymous namespace and ODR

Question

Please consider the following testcase (reduced from LLVM source):

//% cat foo1.cpp

#include <memory>
namespace {
class A {
  int i;
};
}
class G {
  std::unique_ptr<A> foo() const;
};
std::unique_ptr<A> G::foo() const { return std::make_unique<A>(); }

and

//% cat foo2.cpp

#include <memory>
namespace {
class A {
  bool a;
};
}
class H {
  std::unique_ptr<A> bar() const;
};
std::unique_ptr<A> H::bar() const { return std::make_unique<A>(); }

Does this violate the One Definition Rule?

gcc-6 currently thinks so:

 ~ % g++ -flto -shared -std=c++14 foo1.cpp foo2.cpp

Answer 1

This was GCC bug (which was in the devel tree just for few days). The problem was caused by another fix that made GCC to consider implicit typedefs non-anonymous and thus the outer structures got type merged (incorrectly so). The testcase is fixed now, I would be interested to hear about more warnings that may appear bogus.
