However, people that encounter this bug most | probably know little (if any) of the C++ Standard (and thus care | little about conformance to the Standard), and people know well | about the Standard most probably won't encounter this bug at all. If GCC should start ignoring standard semantics that Random P. considers a problem for Lambda User, then we would not even have a working compiler. And those who know could not even use the compiler. There are several ways to fix the situation: change the standard and/or educate people. -- Gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15910
