[John McCall via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

rjmccall added inline comments.


================
Comment at: lib/CodeGen/CGExpr.cpp:4100
+  if (E->getType().isDestructedType() == QualType::DK_nontrivial_c_struct)
+    pushDestroy(QualType::DK_nontrivial_c_struct, DeclPtr, E->getType());

(The cleanup here will be popped at the end of the full-expression if we've entered an `ExprWithCleanups`.) And the l-value case is exactly the case where this matters.

That way we're not conflating two potentially unrelated elements, the lifetime of the object and the kinds of types that can be constructed by the literal.

So we could, even without non-trivial C structs, have a block-scope compound of type `__strong id[]`; I guess we've always just gotten this wrong.  Please add tests for this case. :)

That plus the C/C++ difference; compound literals in C++ are just temporaries.
