Bug ID: 95789
Summary: Const method is allowed to return non-const reference
on template class

Preprocessed file without iostream
Hello, I've recently updated from gcc 9.3.0 to 10.1.0 and found some unexpected
behaviour when trying to compile this code:
#include <iostream>
struct B {
int n;
};
template <typename T>
struct A {
B& get() const { return f; }
B f;
};
int main() {
A<int> a;
a.f = {};
a.get().n = 10;
std::cout << a.f.n << std::endl;
return 0;
}
As I understand this code shouldn't compile with error
binding reference of type ‘B&’ to ‘const B’ discards qualifiers
but this code compiles successfully. What is more interesting is that this code
will stop compiling if I remove template or if I use POD type like int.
Neither gcc 9.3.0 compiles this code nor clang does.
