Foreword [foreword]
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission)formthespecializedsystemforworldwidestandardization. Nationalbodiesthataremembers
of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and
IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different
types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of
the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives or www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction
and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents) or the IEC list of patent
declarations received (see patents.iec.ch).

4.1 Implementation compliance [general.compliance]
Conformance requirements for this document are those defined in ISO/IEC 14882:2020, 4.1. Similarly, all
references to ISO/IEC 14882:2020 in the resulting document shall be taken as referring to the resulting
document itself. [Note: Conformance is defined in terms of the behavior of programs. —end note]
4.2 Namespaces and headers [general.namespaces]
Whenever a namex declared in subclause 21.11 at namespace scope is mentioned, the name x is assumed to
be fully qualified as ::std::experimental::reflect::v1::x, unless otherwise specified. The header de-
scribed in this document (see Table 1) shall import the contents of ::std::experimental::reflect::v1
into ::std::experimental::reflect as if by:
namespace std::experimental::reflect {
inline namespace v1 {}
}
Whenever a name x declared in the standard library at namespace scope is mentioned, the name x is
assumed to be fully qualified as ::std::x, unless otherwise specified.

4.3 Feature-testing recommendations [general.features]
An implementation that provides support for this document shall define each feature test macro defined
in Table 2 if no associated headers are indicated for that macro, and if associated headers are indicated
for a macro, that macro is defined after inclusion of one of the corresponding headers specified in the
table.

6 Basic concepts [basic]
The set of changes proposed in this document, as applied to the specification of ISO/IEC 14882:2020,
shall be as per C++ Extensions for Concepts, ISO/IEC TS 19217:2015.
In ISO/IEC 14882:2020 [basic], add the following last paragraph:
An alias is a name introduced by atypedef declaration, an alias-declaration, or a using-declaration.
6.2 One definition rule [basic.def.odr]
In ISO/IEC 14882:2020 [basic.def.odr], insert a new paragraph after the existing paragraph 3:
A function or variable of static storage duration reflected by T (10.1.6.5) is odr-used by the
specialization std::experimental::reflect::get_pointer (21.11.4.9, 21.11.4.17), as if by
taking the address of an id-expression nominating the function or variable.
In ISO/IEC 14882:2020 [basic.def.odr], apply the following changes to the second bullet within paragraph
6:
and the object has the same value in all definitions of D, or a type implementing
std::experimental::reflect::Object (21.11.3.1), as long as all operations (21.11.4) on this
type yield the same constant expression results; and
6.9 Types [basic.types]
6.9.1 Fundamental types [basic.fundamental]
In ISO/IEC 14882:2020 [basic.fundamental], apply the following change to paragraph 9:
An expression of type void shall be used only as an expression statement (6.2), as an
operand of a comma expression (5.18), as a second or third operand of ?: (5.16), as the
operand of typeid, noexcept, reflexpr, or decltype, as the expression in a return statement
(6.6.3) for a function with the return type void, or as the operand of an explicit conversion
to type cv void.

expression depends on a generic lambda parameter declared within the reaching scope
of the lambda-expression.;
where, for the process of this determination, reflexpr operands are not considered to be
unevaluated operands.
Also apply the following change to paragraph 18:
Every id-expression within the compound-statement of a lambda-expression that is an odr-
use (6.2) of an entity captured by copy, as well as every use of an entity captured by copy
in a reflexpr-operand, is transformed into an access to the corresponding unnamed data
member of the closure type.

std::experimental::reflect::Object (21.11.3.1), as long as all operations (21.11.4) on this
type yield the same constant expression results; and
6.9 Types [basic.types]
6.9.1 Fundamental types [basic.fundamental]
In ISO/IEC 14882:2020 [basic.fundamental], apply the following change to paragraph 9:
An expression of type void shall be used only as an expression statement (6.2), as an
operand of a comma expression (5.18), as a second or third operand of ?: (5.16), as the
operand of typeid, noexcept, reflexpr, or decltype, as the expression in a return statement
(6.6.3) for a function with the return type void, or as the operand of an explicit conversion
to type cv void.

8 Expressions [expr]
8.1 Primary expressions [expr.prim]
8.1.2 Lambda expressions [expr.prim.lambda]
In ISO/IEC 14882:2020 [expr.prim.lambda], apply the following change to the second bullet in paragraph
12:
— names the entity in a potentially-evaluated expression (3.2) where the enclosing full-
expression depends on a generic lambda parameter declared within the reaching scope
of the lambda-expression.;
where, for the process of this determination, reflexpr operands are not considered to be
unevaluated operands.
Also apply the following change to paragraph 18:
Every id-expression within the compound-statement of a lambda-expression that is an odr-
use (6.2) of an entity captured by copy, as well as every use of an entity captured by copy
in a reflexpr-operand, is transformed into an access to the corresponding unnamed data
member of the closure type.
8.2 Postfix expressions [expr.post]
In ISO/IEC 14882:2020 [expr.post], apply the following change:
postfix-expression:
primary-expression
postfix-expression [ expression ]
postfix-expression [ braced-init-list ]
postfix-expression ( expression-list )
opt
function-call-expression
simple-type-specifier ( expression-list )

functional-type-conv-expression
postfix-expression . template id-expression
opt
postfix-expression -> template id-expression
opt
postfix-expression . pseudo-destructor-name
postfix-expression -> pseudo-destructor-name
postfix-expression ++
postfix-expression --
dynamic_cast < type-id > ( expression )

10 Declarations [dcl.dcl]
10.1 Specifiers [dcl.spec]
10.1.6 Type specifiers [dcl.type]
10.1.6.2 Simple type specifiers [dcl.type.simple]
In ISO/IEC 14882:2020 [dcl.type.simple], apply the following change:
The simple type specifiers are
simple-type-specifier:
nested-name-specifier type-name
opt
nested-name-specifier template simple-template-id
char
char16_t
char32_t
wchar_t
bool
short

signed
unsigned
float
double
void
auto
decltype-specifier
reflexpr-specifier
type-name:
class-name
enum-name
typedef-name
simple-template-id
decltype-specifier:
decltype ( expression )
decltype ( auto )
reflexpr-specifier:
reflexpr ( reflexpr-operand )
reflexpr-operand:
::
type-id
nested-name-specifier namespace-name
opt
id-expression
( expression )
function-call-expression
functional-type-conv-expression
...
The other simple-type-specifiers specify either a previously-declared type, a type determined
from an expression, a reflection meta-object type (10.1.6.5), or one of the fundamental types
(6.9.1).
Append the following row to Table 10:
reflexpr ( reflexpr-operand ) the type as defined below
