------- Comment #1 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2008-09-17 17:35 ------- Thanks for catching this early, apparently this is a fundamental issue with the current proposal: having such overloads returning const refs to elements of the initializer_list is a very bad idea, because the initializer_list goes away upon function return. The important point here is that when the initializer_list is build it contains a *copy* of v, not v itself, which thus goes away when the initializer_list dies.
Let's fix the proposal... ;) -- paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Last reconfirmed|0000-00-00 00:00:00 |2008-09-17 17:35:05 date| | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37547
