             Bug #: 53931
           Summary: [C++11] braced function style cast to reference should
                    be prvalue
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: hst...@ca.ibm.com
              Host: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
            Target: powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu


C++2011 5.2.3 [expr.type.conv] paragraph 3:

Similarly, a simple-type-specifier or typename-specifier followed by
a braced-init-list creates a temporary object of the specified type
direct-list-initialized (8.5.4) with the specified braced-init-list,
and its value is that temporary object as a prvalue.

In the case below, a braced function-style cast to an rvalue reference type
does not behave the same as a prvalue literal with GCC.

### Self-contained source (refBraceCast.cc):> cat refBraceCast.cc
typedef int &&ir;
void bar(int x) { const_cast<int &&>(ir{x}); }
//void zip(int x) { const_cast<int &&>(0); }  // fails as expected


### Compiler invocation:
g++-4.7.0 -c -std=c++11 refBraceCast.cc; echo rc=$?


### Compiler output:
rc=0


### g++ -v output:> g++-4.7.0 -v
