[Voted into the WP at the February, 2012 meeting; moved to DR at the October, 2012 meeting.]

Proposed resolution (August, 2011):

Change 7.7 [expr.const] paragraph 2 as follows:

  • an lvalue-to-rvalue conversion (7.3.2 [conv.lval]) unless it is applied to

    • a non-volatile glvalue of integral or enumeration type that refers to a non-volatile const object with a preceding initialization, initialized with a constant expression, or

    • a non-volatile glvalue of literal type that refers to a non-volatile object defined with constexpr, or that refers to a sub-object of such an object, or

    • a non-volatile glvalue of literal type that refers to a non-volatile temporary object whose lifetime has not ended, initialized with a constant expression;

Date: 2012-09-24.00:00:00

The current wording of 7.7 [expr.const] paragraph 2 does not, but should, prohibit use of volatile glvalues in constant expressions.
