[Voted into the WP at the November, 2010 meeting.]
N3092 comment DE 3It is not sufficiently clear thatstd::nullptr_t is adistinct type and neither a pointer type nor a pointer-to-member type.Add a note in 5.13.8 [lex.nullptr] stating that, preferablywith cross-references to the normative statements in 6.9 [basic.types].
Proposed resolution (September, 2010):
Change 5.13.8 [lex.nullptr] paragraph 1 as follows:
The pointer literal is the keywordnullptr. It is a prvalueof typestd::nullptr_t.[Note:std::nullptr_t is a distinct type that is neither a pointertype nor a pointer to member type; rather, a prvalue of this type is anull pointer constant and can be converted to a null pointer value ornull member pointer value. See 7.3.12 [conv.ptr] and7.3.13 [conv.mem]. —end note]
