Bug ID: 51763
Summary: Two type that are not reference-related can further
converted in reference initialization
Product: clang
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P
Component: C++2a
Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

char cc;
struct A{
operator char&(){
return cc;
}
};
int main(){
A a;
int&& rf = a;
}
Clang rejects this example while GCC accepts it. GCC has a correct
interpretation for this example, since [dcl.init.ref#5.4.1] make `A::operator
char&()` be a candidate to convert the original initializer expression `a`,
which brings it to type `char`, as per [dcl.init.ref#5.4.1]
> The result of the call to the conversion function, as described for the non-reference copy-initialization, is then used to direct-initialize the reference. For this direct-initialization, user-defined conversions are not considered.
It means the effect would be the same as that `int&& rf(a.operator char&())`,
since their types are not reference-related, [dcl.init.ref#5.4.2] can apply to
it to do the further conversion, which converts the result of `a.operator
char&()` to type `T`, no user-defined conversion is applied, hence the whole
reference initialization would like to be that `int&&
rf(static_cast<int>(a.operator char&()))`.
