2289. Uniqueness of structured binding names

Section: _N4868_.6.4.1  [basic.scope.declarative]     Status: CD5     Submitter: Richard Smith     Date: 2016-07-20

[Accepted as a DR at the February, 2019 meeting.]

The current wording is not clear regarding examples like the following:

  struct A { int x; } a;
  struct B {} b; template<int> int &get(const B&);
  struct C {}; int c[1];
  auto [A] = a; // ok? 
  auto [B] = b; // ok? 
  auto [C] = c; // ok?

Proposed resolution (February, 2019):
