The following code compiles in gcc, clang and vc:

struct S { S(int) {} };
void S(int) {}

int main()
{
    S(1); // ok, calls S(int)
    (struct S)(1); // ok, calls S::S(int)
    struct S s(1); // ok, calls S::S(int)
    return 0;
}

I couldn't find a place where creating a temporary using an elaborated type
specifier is called out in the standard. Specifically the parans syntax. Is
this implied due to some other rule, or is it a bug in the compilers that
the form is supported? Or should be a bug in the standard if not specified?

Thanks
-Ion

The standard doesn't have to explicitly say that you are allowed to use an
elaborated type specifier since an elaborated type specifier is just one
particular way of naming a class type. If you have any doubts you can
always read the grammar:


*cast-expression:*

*    unary-expression*
    (* type-id *)

* cast-expression*
An *elaborated-type-specifier* is a valid *type-id*.

it's not an expression though, I specifically meant the temporary, this is
not allowed for example: "struct S(1)", the parans around "(struct S)" are
required

What do you mean "it's not an expression"? You think that (struct S)(1) is
not an expression? What do you think it is then?

The reason why the parentheses are required is that the grammar says they
are: the *type-id* needs to be enclosed in parentheses. Though S(1) is ok
because it is a *postfix-expression:*

*simple-type-specifier *(* expression-list (opt) *)
*typename-specifier *(* expression-list (opt) *)

*simple-type-specifier braced-init-listtypename-specifier braced-init-list*

Here the parentheses around the type name are not allowed but elaborated
type specifiers are not allowed; only *simple-type-specifiers* and
*typename-specifiers.*

I was referring to "struct S" not being an expression. I can't find where
it's saying that "type-id needs to be enclosed in parenthesis", I don't
have access to the published standard, I'm using the N4618 draft as the
reference, maybe that doesn't have it?
