VC11: non-const lvalue reference incorrectly binds to rvalue by jhansw

Stop yelling and just wait for months. There are many things they have to consider and handle.

This is very irresponsible answer from Microsoft. It's one of the severe bugs that should have been fixed a decade ago. It also should be trivial to fix it. Yes, it will break the buggy code, which is good, people need to fix the bugs like this in their programs.

I have investigated this issue and found that it WAS(and should have not kept for now. i talk about this latter) by design in version from vc6.0(at least) to vs2008 c++ compiler. There is no c++0x/11 standard specifics in these version, so there is no way to mark and detect the rvalue in language level. The solution of those compiler is allowing unsafe but usable r2l-lvalue-reference binding, As the extension of C++98 (As i know, it should be expose Warning C4239 only if you had configged your project at highest warning level). After that, the release 2010 (vc10) has implimented the rvalue-references(Type &&) and no longer has such limitation of C++98. i remember that there is a document in msdn vcblog said that the VS2010 sp1 has disabled the r2l-lvalue binding to solve a security-issue( http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2010/04/06/c-0x-core-language-features-in-vc10-the-table.aspx
"The difference between what I call "rvalue references v1" and "rvalue references v2" is that v1 allowed rvalue references to bind to lvalues, while v2 forbids this. N2844 "Fixing a Safety Problem with Rvalue References" describes the reasons for this change."), which i am sure that it have relation to this bug report. and now that issue just re-open in vs2012. I think you might have considered that old style rv-binding, or any vc-compiler project manager decided to use that old style, or some one fixed another compiler issue by edit the older released sources from vs2010sp1(from 2010 WITHOUT sp1 or even from ver. 2008) and then committed them into the vs2012 compiler project.
What i supposed is: If the compiler-team still worries about the compatibilities issues for disabling the r2l-lvalue referense binding: If the vs2010sp1 can handle that without 4239 extension, the vs2012 should also be able to handle that.
