c++ : std::visit not compilable under gcc

Question

Here is my code which compiles fine for clang but failed with gcc

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <regex>
#include <variant>

struct Id {
    void SetValue(const std::string& item)
    {
        value = item;
    }

    std::string value;
};

struct Number {
    void SetValue(const std::string& item)
    {
        value = std::stoi(item);
    }
    int value;
};


using TokenBase
    = std::variant<Number, Id>;

struct Token : TokenBase {
    using TokenBase::TokenBase;

    template <typename T>
    [[nodiscard]] bool Is() const {
        return std::holds_alternative<T>(*this);
    }

    template <typename T>
    [[nodiscard]] const T& As() const {
        return std::get<T>(*this);
    }

    template <typename T>
    [[nodiscard]] const T* TryAs() const {
        return std::get_if<T>(this);
    }
};

struct LexerTokenExtractor {
    const std::string& item_;

    void operator()(Number& item) const {
        item.SetValue(item_);
    }

    void operator()(Id& item) const {
        item.SetValue(item_);
    }
};


int main()
{
  const std::string string_token("x");
  Token id_token = Id();

  std::visit(LexerTokenExtractor{string_token}, id_token);

  std::cout << "ok" << std::endl;
}

Here is the log :

required from here
/usr/include/c++/7/variant:97:29: error: incomplete type ‘std::variant_size<Token>’ used in nested name specifier
     inline constexpr size_t variant_size_v = variant_size<_Variant>::value;

/usr/include/c++/7/variant:711:49: error: ‘_S_apply’ was not declared in this scope
       static constexpr auto _S_vtable = _S_apply();

Please give me any ideas of what could be wrong here

As mentioned in the comments, this is a known bug in the current versions of GCC: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90943

A simple workaround would be to force std::visit() to operate directly on the variant instead of the subclass by using a static_cast.

std::visit(LexerTokenExtractor{string_token}, static_cast<TokenBase&>(id_token));
