--- Comment #3 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- This was changed by http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html#613 It was a defect in the original standard. What possible advantage is there in rejecting it in C++03 mode but accepting it in C++11 mode? i.e. why do you consider this a bug?
