We are all programmers...

You shouldn't trust a "compiler guy" more than folks at comp.lang.c++,
because compiler engineers write all parts of the compiler, and even at the
clang list, there are those that are not that much into dissecting the C++
standard more than they already have to on their normal day-to-day job.

On the other hand, at comp.lang.c++, you'll find many C++ zealots, which
will love to break up your code into tiny pieces and explain, with
references to the standard, for each one. You'll have more luck there, for
this sort of thing.

Here you should make questions about C++ if they're related to Clang, ie.
"it works with CompilerX, but not with Clang" or "Clang generated the wrong
IR for this C++ code" and so on.
