Yes, there's no point changing GCC until it's clear what the standard will say on the subject. > That C++ standards issue is also 10 years old, and so (I would guess) > unlikely to be fixed any time soon. It has "drafting" status which means someone is working on it. > So, regardless of which stance GCC takes regarding the standards > issue, in my view GCC should still remain consistent.

If you want to change the standard this isn't the place to do it. You can update the bug report with additional testcases if you think there is something missing from the discussion, but the bug is likely to remain suspended until the DR is resolved (which should be soon, given that the new standard could be finished this year.)
