Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4849.

  1. Modify [functional.syn], header <functional> synopsis, as indicated:

    namespace std {
    […]
    template<class T> struct unwrap_reference;
    template<class T> using unwrap_reference_t = typename unwrap_reference<T>::type;
    template<class T> struct unwrap_ref_decay;
    template<class T> using unwrap_ref_decay_t = typename unwrap_ref_decay<T>::type;
    […]
    }
    
  2. Delete sub-clause [refwrap.unwrapref] completely, as indicated:

    20.14.5.6 Transformation type trait unwrap_reference [refwrap.unwrapref]

    template<class T>
      struct unwrap_reference;
    

    -1- If T is a specialization reference_wrapper<X> for some type X, the member typedef type of unwrap_reference<T> is X&, otherwise it is T.

    template<class T>
      struct unwrap_ref_decay;
    

    -2- The member typedef type of unwrap_ref_decay<T> denotes the type unwrap_reference_t<decay_t<T>>.

  3. Modify [meta.type.synop], header <type_traits> synopsis, as indicated:

    namespace std {
    […]
    // [meta.trans.other], other transformations
    […]
    template<class T> struct underlying_type;
    template<class Fn, class... ArgTypes> struct invoke_result;
    template<class T> struct unwrap_reference;
    template<class T> struct unwrap_ref_decay;
    
    template<class T>
      using type_identity_t = typename type_identity<T>::type;
    […]
    template<class Fn, class... ArgTypes>
      using invoke_result_t = typename invoke_result<Fn, ArgTypes...>::type;
    template<class T> 
      using unwrap_reference_t = typename unwrap_reference<T>::type;
    template<class T> 
      using unwrap_ref_decay_t = typename unwrap_ref_decay<T>::type;
    template<class...>
      using void_t = void;
    […]
    }
    
  4. Modify [meta.trans.other], Table 55 — "Sign modifications" in [tab:meta.trans.sign] as indicated:

    Table 52 — Other transformations [tab:meta.trans.other]
    Template Comments
    […]
    template <class T>
    struct unwrap_reference;
    If T is a specialization reference_wrapper<X> for some type X, the member typedef type of unwrap_reference<T> is X&, otherwise it is T.
    template <class T>
    struct unwrap_ref_decay;
    The member typedef type of unwrap_ref_decay<T> denotes the type unwrap_reference_t<decay_t<T>>.
  5. Insert between [meta.trans.other] p1 and p2 as indicated:

    In addition to being available via inclusion of the <type_traits> header, the templates unwrap_reference, unwrap_ref_decay, unwrap_reference_t, and unwrap_ref_decay_t are available when the header <functional> ([functional.syn]) is included.

[ 2020-02-13, Prague ]

During LWG discussions it had been suggested that they considered it is an improvement to move the definitions of unwrap_reference and unwrap_ref_decay from <functional> to <type_traits>. This is what the alternative wording tries to accomplish.

[ 2019-12-12 Issue Prioritization ]

Priority to 2 after reflector discussion.

Previous resolution [SUPERSEDED]:

This wording is relative to N4842.

  1. Modify [version.syn] p2 as indicated:

    […]
    #define __cpp_lib_unordered_map_try_emplace 201411L // also in <unordered_map>
    #define __cpp_lib_unwrap_ref                201811L // also in <type_traitsfunctional>
    #define __cpp_lib_variant                   201606L // also in <variant>
    […]

cpplearner points out in this github comment that:

Since unwrap_reference and unwrap_ref_decay are defined in <functional> ([functional.syn]), their feature test macro should also be defined there.

P1902R1 adds this feature test macro in <type_traits> instead. The feature test macro and the type traits should go into the same header: either both in <functional> or both in <type_traits>.

The smallest diff is just to move the macro into <functional>.
