715. Class member access constant expressions

[Voted into WP at October, 2009 meeting.]

Bullet 12 of paragraph 2 of 7.7 [expr.const] says,

• a class member access (7.6.1.5 [expr.ref]) unless its postfix-expression is of effective literal type or of pointer to effective literal type;

This wording needs to be clearer that the “effective literal type” provision applies only to the . form of member access and the “pointer to effective literal type” applies only to the -> form.

Proposed resolution (March, 2009):

Delete 7.7 [expr.const] bullet 2.11:

• a class member access (7.6.1.5 [expr.ref]) unless its postfix-expression is of effective literal type or of pointer to effective literal type;
