GCC correctly implements the standard specifications. Just because you happen not to like the consequences of the rules under some circumstances does not make it a GCC bug. Furthermore, I've suggested from the very outset that you take the issue to the C++ committee -- which if you have done, you would have discovered the many facets of fixes you are discovering now. That was no "bluntly telling" you. It is not a GCC bug, it is a fact. You would have learnt more about the subject when you took it to the apporpriate place, is also a fact. But, you were obsessed by the very idea that it must be a GCC bug, rejecting outright suggestions to take the issue to the appropriate places and only afterward half-admitting that is what you would have done and are putting blame on other people for your irrational refusal to give more thoughts to the issue and move and discuss it in the apporpriate forums. -- Gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15910
