67. Evaluation of left side of object-expression

Section: 11.4.9  [class.static]     Status: TC1     Submitter: Mike Miller     Date: 6 Oct 1998

Paragraph 2 says that "the object-expression is always evaluated" when the class member syntax is used to refer to a static member. This presumably should say that the object expression is evaluated if the member access is performed, i.e., not if the overall expression is the operand of sizeof or the unevaluated branch of ?:, ||, or &&.

Proposed Resolution (10/99): Replace "is always evaluated" by "is evaluated" in 11.4.9 [class.static] paragraph 2.
