Back insert iterator behavior: not sure if bug or my error

I'm getting some very odd behavior with the constructor of a class that uses a std::back_insert_iterator member variable. GCC seems to think the constructor definition is a construction call to said iterator:

Code:

---

../src/palace/lib/message.cpp:6:60: error: no matching function for call to 'std::back_insert_iterator<std::vector<unsigned char> >::back_insert_iterator()'
    6 | PalaceMessage::PalaceMessage(std::vector<uint8_t> &incoming)
      |                                                            ^

---

The class header itself is straightforward:

Code:

---

#ifndef _PALACE_MESSAGE_H
#define _PALACE_MESSAGE_H

#include <iterator>
#include <string>
#include <string_view>
#include <vector>

#include "protocol.hpp"

class _DLLEXP PalaceMessage
{
public:
        PalaceMessage(std::vector<uint8_t> &incoming);
        template <class T> T Get();
        std::string GetCStr();
        std::string GetPStr();
        std::vector<uint8_t> GetData(size_t length);
        template <class T> PalaceMessage& Put(T t);
        PalaceMessage& PutCStr(std::string_view s);
        PalaceMessage& PutPStr(std::string_view s);
        PalaceMessage& PutData(const std::vector<uint8_t> &data);
private:
        PALACE_MSG_HEADER m_header;
        std::vector<uint8_t> m_data;
        std::vector<uint8_t>::iterator m_read;
        std::back_insert_iterator<std::vector<uint8_t>> m_write;
};

#endif // _PALACE_MESSAGE_H

---

and the constructor in the .cpp file should be a no-brainer as well:

Code:

---

#include <algorithm>
#include <utility>

#include "message.hpp"

PalaceMessage::PalaceMessage(std::vector<uint8_t> &incoming)
{
        m_data = std::move(incoming);
        m_header = Get();
}

---

So am I overlooking something or is GCC being a goofball?

Can you construct a complete (runnable) minimal example?
Doing so in itself may reveal the problem.

Now that I think about it, by the time the body of the ctor starts to run,
all the default value, default ctors, and initialization list members have run.
So it's complaining about back_insert_iterator's ctor inside PalaceMessage.
It turns out that it doesn't have a default ctor until C++20.
So you either need to use C++20 (-std=c++20)
or you have to do something like this:

Code:

---

#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
 
struct A {
    std::vector<char> v;
    std::back_insert_iterator<std::vector<char>> w;
 
    A() : w(v) { }
};
 
int main() {
    A a;
}

---

I see. Yeah, I found out by assigning it in constructor satisfies the compiler
