I see.
But why compiler doesn't also make a temporary variable for the constant defined
in a class scope?
Such as following codes:

struct T
{
  static int const a = 3;
};

void
fff(int const &a)
{
}

int
main()
{
  fff(T::a); /* compiler will not make a temporary variable for it. */
  fff(4); /* compiler will make a temporary variable for it. */

  return 0;
}
