Keep aggregate initializer elements within the full expression of the complete initialization. Preserve that state when parsing an initializer list resumes, and avoid duplicating partial cleanups already handled for an inner lifetime.

Related discussion: #294
Previously accepted by Mike Herrick as issue EDGcpfe/29057.

Adds runtime checks for local aggregates, return-value initialization, arrays, and nested aggregate initializers. The regression program exits 0 with GCC 13.

EDG build, regression testing, and test recordings are pending because the Docker development environment is unavailable. This PR is a draft until those checks are completed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Corrected C++20 temporary lifetimes during aggregate initialization. Temporaries now remain alive until the complete initialization finishes, including for nested aggregates, arrays, and aggregates returned from functions.
• Tests
  • Added regression coverage for temporary lifetimes in aggregate initialization.

Walkthrough

The change tracks full-expression state during eligible braced aggregate initialization and adjusts cleanup handling for overlapping inner-lifetime temporaries. It adds a regression test for temporary lifetimes across several aggregate initialization forms.

Changes: Aggregate temporary lifetime

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track full-expression scope src/decl_inits.c, src/expr.c	Eligible braced aggregate initializers now use an expression-stack context and wrap up the initializer before that context is popped. Initializer continuation processing restores the saved full-expression state.
Handle inner-lifetime cleanup src/lower_init.c, tests/tests/regressions/edg-29057.sft.cpp, src/pending_changes/edg-29057-aggregate-temporary-lifetime.txt	Dynamic initialization skips an aggregate cleanup-state adjustment for aggregates and lambdas that overlap inner-lifetime temporaries. The regression test checks temporary counts for direct, returned, array, and nested aggregate initialization. The change note documents the lifetime rule.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 431fe

No merge-blocking defect was found. Run the pending EDG checks; exception-cleanup coverage is a useful follow-up.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 431fe

The change stays within existing compiler processing and introduces no identified trust or privilege boundary. Source inspection supports coordinated lifetime finalization and cleanup ownership, but generated cleanup behavior under exceptions and repeated parsing suspension remains unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The security-relevant exposure is altered temporary-destruction timing in programs compiled through the affected aggregate-initialization paths. Source input already reaches these compiler paths; the inspected change does not introduce another service, identity transition, or privileged operation.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Static cleanup ownership is coherent: partial-member exception cleanup remains available before aggregate completion, while the completed aggregate and inner-lifetime cleanup paths handle the post-completion state. This counters an inferred missed-or-duplicated-destruction concern, but does not establish executed failure-path correctness.

Cover exception cleanup for a destructible aggregate.

A and Pair have trivial destructors, so this test does not exercise the changed cleanup branch in src/lower_init.c at Line 11026. Add a case with destructible aggregate members and a throwing initializer or temporary destructor. Check that each constructed object is destroyed exactly once.
