18.11.4.10: Base reflecting incomplete type should be impossible
Closed this issue · 3 comments
The meta-object operations that produce meta-objects satisfying Base require complete types, which would require the base classes to be complete.
AN: I do not understand this issue. A Base is not reflecting a type; it is
reflecting the fact that some class derives from another class. If this is an
issue (which I currently do not understand) then it would probably be an issue
(erm) and should not be part of the editorial review.
Left open as an issue to handle post-publication.
The issue is a minor one pointing out that the requirement in reflect.ops.derived:
A specialization of any of these templates with a meta-object type that is reflecting an incomplete type renders the program ill-formed.
is redundant with the same requirement in reflect.ops.record.
