--- Comment #27 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-10-26 02:04:38 UTC --- And for similar reasons, it seems wrong to reject "b" with a permerror: The code is accepted in c++98 as an extension, so it could be equally accepted in c++11 as an extension, and warned by -pedantic. No need to force users to use constexpr or the hammer of -fpermissive for something that works in c++98. Again, this is what clang does, which makes perfect sense to me. So, I still see two bugs.
