This would breaks lots of code, it is template related too as it is not
rejected when not in templates.
Clearly this is a judgement call.
However, I think it's less critical because pointers-to-members and, in particular, pointers-to-members in templates are relatively less common. And, it's rejects-valid, so at least you know that you have a problem. And there are workarounds. In contrast, the top bug on the list is known to cause silent miscompilation of Qt, a very major package, and it's not easy to know where the problem is.
Yes it might be a silent miscompiling but there is an easy work around, use a
temporary variable, unlike pointer to member functions where there is no work around,
well except for not using templates but that is just wrong.
Thanks, Andrew Pinski
