Proposed resolution (October, 2019):

Change 6.9 [basic.exec] bullet 5.5 as follows:

A full-expression is

  • ...

  • an invocation of a destructor generated at the end of the lifetime of an object other than a temporary object (6.7.7 [class.temporary]) whose lifetime has not been extended, or

  • ...

[Adopted as a DR at the November, 2019 meeting.]

According to 6.9 [basic.exec] paragraph 5,

A full-expression is

  • ...

  • an invocation of a destructor generated at the end of the lifetime of an object other than a temporary object (6.7.7 [class.temporary]), or

  • ...

This definition excludes the destruction of temporaries that are bound to references from being treated as full-expressions. It is not clear whether this omission has observable effects or not. See editorial issue 2664.
