801. Casting away constness in a cast to rvalue reference type

[Voted into WP at October, 2009 meeting.]

The rules in 7.6.1.11 [expr.const.cast] paragraphs 8 and following, defining “casting away constness,” do not cover a cast to an rvalue reference type.

Proposed resolution (September, 2009):

Change 7.6.1.11 [expr.const.cast] paragraph 9 as follows:

Casting from an lvalue of type T1 to an lvalue of type T2 using a an lvalue reference cast, or casting from an expression of type T1 to an rvalue of type T2 using an rvalue reference cast, casts away constness if a cast from an rvalue of type “pointer to T1” to the type “pointer to T2” casts away constness.
