[Bug c++/36628] New: incorrect declspec() handling of conditional operator

["abarbati at iaanus dot com" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

I compiled the following code with gcc 4.3.0 mingw (more details at the end of
the report) with:

  g++ -std=c++0x test.cpp

----
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>

int  rvalue();
int& lvalueref();
int&& rvalueref();

decltype(true ? rvalue() : rvalue()) f()
{}

decltype(true ? lvalueref() : lvalueref()) g()
{}

decltype(true ? rvalueref() : rvalueref()) h()
{}

int main()
{
        std::cout << typeid(f).name() << "\n";
        std::cout << typeid(g).name() << "\n";
        std::cout << typeid(h).name() << "\n";
}
-----

The output is:

FivE
FRivE
FOivE

this suggests that declspec() was interpreted respectively as int, int& and
int&&. However a careful reading of clause 5, paragraph 5 and 6, makes it clear
that the result should have been int in all three cases, so correct output
should have been:

FivE
FivE
FivE

The fact is that, when evaluating the type of the arguments of the conditional
operator, int& and int&& should be adjusted to int "prior to any further
analysis". Once both the second and third parameters are adjusted to int, the
conditional operator can't help returning an int (5.16/6). To be precise, the
results are an lvalue of type int and rvalue of type int, respectively, but
that is very different from saying that they are int& and int&& and declspec
should be aware of that.

Additional compiler info:
