Proposed resolution:
This wording is relative to N4988.
Modify [meta.type.synop], header <type_traits> synopsis, as indicated:
[…] // [meta.const.eval], constant evaluation context constexpr bool is_constant_evaluated() noexcept; template<class T> consteval bool is_within_lifetime(const Tauto*) noexcept;
Modify [meta.const.eval] as indicated:
template<class T> consteval bool is_within_lifetime(const Tauto* p) noexcept;-?- Mandates: is_object_v<T> is true.
-3- Returns: true if p is a pointer to an object that is within its lifetime ([basic.life]); otherwise, false. -4- Remarks: During the evaluation of an expression E as a core constant expression, a call to this function is ill-formed unless p points to an object that is usable in constant expressions or whose complete object's lifetime began within E.
int f(); std::is_within_lifetime<int()>(f);
This is currently well-formed, and only fails when evaluated because is_within_lifetime is not constrained. However talking of lifetime of a non-object does not make sense, and the lack of constraint makes the implementation and use of that function and underlying built-in more convoluted than necessary.
