Allow constant evaluation for all non-type template arguments

Wording

Change in 5.19 (expr.const) paragraph 3 and convert to a bulleted list:

[...] A converted constant expression of type T is an expression, implicitly converted to a prvalue of type T, where the converted expression is a core constant expression and the implicit conversion sequence contains only:

• user-defined conversions,
• lvalue-to-rvalue conversions (4.1),
• array-to-pointer conversions (4.2),
• function-to-pointer conversions (4.3),
• qualification conversions (4.4),
• integral promotions (4.5), and
• integral conversions (4.7) other than narrowing conversions (8.5.4),
• null pointer conversions (4.10) from std::nullptr_t, and
• null member pointer conversions (4.11) from std::nullptr_t,

and where the reference binding (if any) binds directly. [ Note: such expressions may be used in new expressions (5.3.4), as case expressions (6.4.2), as enumerator initializers if the underlying type is fixed (7.2), as array bounds (8.3.4), and as integral or enumeration non-type template arguments (14.3). — end note ]

Change in 14.3.2 (temp.arg.nontype) paragraph 1 and remove the bullets:

A template-argument for a non-type, non-template template-parameter shall be one of:

• for a non-type template-parameter of integral or enumeration type, a converted constant expression (5.19) of the type of the template-parameter.; or
• the name of a non-type template-parameter; or
• a constant expression (5.19) that designates the address of a complete object with static storage duration and external or internal linkage or a function with external or internal linkage, including function templates and function template-ids but excluding non-static class members, expressed (ignoring parentheses) as & id-expression, where the id-expression is the name of an object or function, except that the & may be omitted if the name refers to a function or array and shall be omitted if the corresponding template-parameter is a reference; or
• a constant expression that evaluates to a null pointer value (4.10); or
• a constant expression that evaluates to a null member pointer value (4.11); or
• a pointer to member expressed as described in 5.3.1; or
• a constant expression of type std::nullptr_t.

For a non-type template-parameter of reference or pointer type, the value of the constant expression shall not refer to (or for a pointer type, shall not be the address of):

• a subobject (1.8),
• a temporary object (12.2),
• a string literal (2.14.5),
• the result of a typeid expression (5.2.8), or
• a predefined __func__ variable (8.4.1).

[ Note: If the template-argument represents a set of overloaded functions (or a pointer or member pointer to such), the matching function is selected from the set (13.4). ]

Change in 14.3.2 (temp.arg.nontype) paragraph 2:

[ Note: A string literal (2.14.5) does not satisfy the requirements of any of these categories and thus is not an acceptable template-argument. [ Example: ... ] ]

Change in 14.3.2 (temp.arg.nontype) paragraph 3:

[ Note: The address Addresses of an array elements and names or addresses of a non-static class data members are is not an acceptable template-arguments. [ Example:

template<int* p> class X { };

int a[10];
struct S { int m; static int s; } s;

X<&a[2]> x3; // error: address of array element
X<&s.m> x4;  // error: address of non-static member
X<&s.s> x5;  // error: &S::s must be used OK: address of static member
X<&S::s> x6; // OK: address of static member

] ]

Change in 14.3.2 (temp.arg.nontype) paragraph 4:

[ Note: Temporaries, unnamed lvalues, and named lvalues with no linkage are A temporary object is not an acceptable template-arguments when the corresponding template-parameter has reference type. [ Example: ... ] ]

Delete all of 14.3.2 (temp.arg.nontype) paragraph 5 other than its example and move it to before paragraph 2:

The following conversions are performed on each expression used as a non-type template-argument. If a non-type template-argument cannot be converted to the type of the corresponding template-parameter then the program is ill-formed.

• ...

[ Example: ... ]

Change in 14.4 (temp.type) paragraph 1:

Two template-ids refer to the same class, function, or variable if

• their template-names, operator-function-ids, or literal-operator-ids refer to the same template and
• their corresponding type template-arguments are the same type and
• their corresponding non-type template arguments of integral or enumeration type have identical values and
• their corresponding non-type template-arguments of pointer type refer to the same external object or function or are both the null pointer value and
• their corresponding non-type template-arguments of pointer-to-member type refer to the same class member or are both the null member pointer value and
• their corresponding non-type template-arguments of reference type refer to the same external object or function and
• their corresponding template template-arguments refer to the same template.
