[Adopted at the February/March, 2017 meeting.]
The current wording of 7.6.1.9 [expr.static.cast] paragraph 2 appears to permit the following example:
struct B {
int i;
};
struct D : B {
int j;
B b;
};
int main() {
D d;
B &br = d.b;
D &dr = static_cast<D&>(br); // Okay?
}
Presumably such casts should only be supported if the operand object is a base class subobject, not a member subobject.
