        <pre>The wording is in [class.union]/1 and [class.mem]/25.

[class.mem]/25 contains an example:

struct T1 { int a, b; };
struct T2 { int c; double d; };
union U { T1 t1; T2 t2; };
int f() {
  U u = { { 1, 2 } };   // active member is t1
  return u.t2.c;        // OK, as if u.t1.a were nominated
}

Running this example in constexpr context, or just turning the `f` into a
constexpr function produces an error:

<source>:4:15: error: constexpr function never produces a constant expression
[-Winvalid-constexpr]
constexpr int f() {
              ^
<source>:6:10: note: read of member 't2' of union with active member 't1' is
not allowed in a constant expression
  return u.t2.c;        // OK, as if u.t1.a were nominated
         ^
