Proposed resolution (November, 2013):
Change 9.2.6 [dcl.constexpr] paragraph 8 as follows:
The constexpr specifier has no effect on the type of a constexpr function or a constexpr constructor.The class of which a constexpr function is a member shall be a literal type (6.8 [basic.types]).[Example:...
[Applied to WP at the February, 2014 meeting.]
The current wording of 9.2.6 [dcl.constexpr] paragraph 8 is:
The constexpr specifier has no effect on the type of a constexpr function or a constexpr constructor. The class of which a constexpr function is a member shall be a literal type (6.8 [basic.types]).
The previous version of this wording made clear that the restriction on the class type applied only to non-static member functions; consequently, the new formulation has inadvertently banned static constexpr member functions of non-literal classes.
