This was actually CWG 2126 which we don't seem to fully implement: struct A { int n; }; const A &a = {1}; // const temporary A &b = (A &)(const A &)A{1}; // const temporary A &&c = (A &&)(const A &)A{1}; // const temporary static_assert(a.n == 1, ""); static_assert(b.n == 1, ""); static_assert(c.n == 1, "");
