Jason Merrill <jason at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #2 from Jason Merrill <jason at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The testcase has undefined behavior; the initializer_list array only lives until the end of the initialization of 'a'. 11.6.4p6: The array has the same lifetime as any other temporary object (15.2), except that initializing an initializer_list object from the array extends the lifetime of the array exactly like binding a reference to a temporary. 15.2p6.9: A temporary object bound to a reference parameter in a function call (8.5.1.2) persists until the completion of the full-expression containing the call. The code can be fixed by explicitly extending the initializer_list lifetime, e.g. std::initializer_list<const char> il = {'a', 'b', 'c'}; ArrayView<const char> a (il);
