--- Comment #6 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The trunk branch has been updated by Marek Polacek <mpola...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:93810fd673654db9ff16170624a6d36449eab241 commit r12-5386-g93810fd673654db9ff16170624a6d36449eab241 Author: Marek Polacek <pola...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Nov 3 11:04:22 2021 -0400 c++: Implement C++23 P0849R8 - auto(x) [PR103049] This patch implements P0849R8 which allows auto in a functional cast, the result of which is a prvalue. [expr.type.conv]/1 says that the type is determined by placeholder type deduction. We only accept 'auto', not 'decltype(auto)' -- that the type shall be auto comes from [dcl.type.auto.deduct]. Therefore the rules are like for [temp.deduct.call], deducing template arguments from a function call, so the result type will never be a reference, and we decay arrays/functions.
