Notes from the November, 2010 meeting:

The CWG agreed that the resolution of issue 515 was ill-advised and should be reversed.
Date: 2009-12-30.00:00:00

The following innocuous-appearing code is currently ill-formed:

    struct A {
        int a;
    };

    struct B {
        void f() {
            decltype(A::a) i;    // ill-formed
        }
    };

The reason is that, according to 11.4.3 [class.mfct.non.static] paragraph 3, the reference to A::a is transformed into (*this).A::a, and there is no A subobject of B. It would seem reasonable to suppress this transformation in unevaluated operands, where a reference to a non-static member is permitted without an object expression.

(See also issue 1005.)
