Suggested resolution:
Change in 7.6.1.5 [expr.ref] paragraph 5 as follows:
Otherwise, the object expression shall be of class type. The class type shall be complete unless the class member access appears in the definition of that class.
[Note: The program is ill-formed if the result differs from that when the class is complete (6.5.2 [class.member.lookup]). —end note]
[Note: 6.5.5 [basic.lookup.qual] describes how names are looked up after the . and -> operators. —end note] If E2 is a qualified-id, the terminal name of its nested-name-specifier shall denote the type of E1 or a base class thereof.[Example:
struct A { static int x; }; struct B { static int x; }; struct D : B { using type = A; }; int y1 = D().B::x; // OK, B is a base class of D int y2 = D().type::x; // error: A is not a base class of D int y3 = D::type::x; // OK, evaluates A::x—end example ]
Change in 7.6.1.5 [expr.ref] bullet 7.5 as follows:
[Example:
enum E { e }; struct X { using E::e; }; int f(X x) { return x.e; }
—end example ]
Change in 7.5.5.1 [expr.prim.id.general] paragraph 4 as follows:
An id-expression that denotes a non-static data member or non-static member function of a class can only be used:
- as part of a class member access (7.6.1.5 [expr.ref])
in which the object expression refers to the member's class[ Footnote: ... ]or a class derived from that class, or- to form a pointer to member (7.6.2.2 [expr.unary.op]), or
- if that id-expression denotes a non-static data member and it appears in an unevaluated operand.
Consider:
struct A { static int x; }; struct B { using type = A; }; int y = B().type::x;
There seems to be no requirement that the member named in a class member access actually is a member of the class of the object expression. Subclause 7.5.5.1 [expr.prim.id.general] paragraph 3 does not cover static members:
An id-expression that denotes a non-static data member or non-static member function of a class can only be used:
- as part of a class member access in which the object expression refers to the member's class or a class derived from that class, or
- ...
