BTW, I am trying to run the test file in my local, and I get the following error,
```

```
here is the test for reference:
```
#include <memory>
struct deleter {
using pointer = long*;
void operator()(pointer) const {}
};
void test() {
long l = 0;
std::unique_ptr<const int, deleter> p(&l);
// expected-error-re@*:* {{static assertion failed{{.*}}'!__reference_converts_from_temporary(const int &, long &)': Reference type _Tp must not convert from a temporary object}}
// expected-error@*:*{{returning reference to local temporary object}}
std::ignore = *p; // expected-note {{requested here}}
}
```
