Chromium has this chunk of code (in third_party/angle/src/common/PackedEnums.h):

             // This horrible const_cast pattern is necessary to work around a constexpr limitation.
             // See https://stackoverflow.com/q/34199774/ . Note that it should be fixed with C++17.
             const_cast<T &>(const_cast<const Storage &>(
                mPrivateData)[static_cast<UnderlyingType>(it->first)]) = it->second;

This code built with gcc9, but with gcc10 it no longer works.

I've tried two ways to fix this:

A) Changing that line of code to:

   mPrivateData[static_cast<UnderlyingType>(it->first)] = it->second;

AND

  Building all of chromium with -std=c++17

This results in a chromium that builds but segfaults immediately:

Stack trace of thread 333141:
                #0  0x000056480cc9b2d8 _Z41__static_initialization_and_destruction_0ii.constprop.0 (chromium-browser + 0x6b82d8)

B) Cheating and accessing the std::array's underlying array directly (thanks to Raphael Kubo Da Costa for the idea):

That change enables chromium to build, but it segfaults in the same way.

Now, it's possible that this change is a red herring and that something else in GCC10 is causing the segfault, but I'm out of ideas on how to proceed. If someone with GCC knowhow could help out here, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
