[Moved to DR at the November, 2014 meeting.]
Proposed resolution (February, 2014):
Change 7.6.2.2 [expr.unary.op] paragraph 3 as follows:
The result of the unary& operator is a pointer to itsoperand. The operand shall be an lvalue or aqualified-id. If theoperand is aqualified-id naming a non-staticor variantmemberm of some classC with typeT, the resulthas type “pointer to member of classC of typeT” and is a prvalue designatingC::m. Otherwise...
According to 7.6.2.2 [expr.unary.op] paragraph 3,
The result of the unary& operator is a pointerto its operand. The operand shall be an lvalue oraqualified-id. If the operand isaqualified-id naming a non-static membermof some classC with typeT, the resulthas type “pointer to member of classC of typeT” and is a prvalue designatingC::m.
It is not clear whether this wording applies to variantmembers ofC (i.e., members of nested anonymousunions) or only to its non-variant members. For example,given
struct A { union { int n; }; }; auto x = &A::n;should the type ofx beint A::* orint A::anon::*? Current implementationschoose the former.
