Oh that is right, but both are different things.
Say, when you have:
T fun() {...}
void bar(const T&) {...}
bar(fun()) // 1. this is perfectly legal.
const T& a = fun(); // 2. not legal, but still you can do it on some
compilers.
Second line is legal too. Petru Marginean and I use it to good effect in
my ScopeGuard idiom (a precursor to D's scope guards).

I was sure that always output C4238 on MSVC, and simply rejected on GCC.
Now I tried with 2 versions of MSVC and it didn't give any warnings.
As it looks like this is only for pointers. That is:
const T* a = &fun();
I have encountered this quite a few times and i was sure reference example
above also same since i can't think of a reason
that i would take take the address of a temporary function...
