[cfe-dev] Is this a bug or just illegal code

I'm seeing memory corruption when I use a literal string and std::string in
a ternary (?:) expression.  If I change ss to ss.c_str() on line 5, the
corruption goes away. [1] is an AST diff, which might help explain it.

Although clang doesn't give me an error or warning, is this code legal, or
is this a bug?

thanks...
