No, I'm saying you are not getting the wrong result.  What you think is correct
is not correct.

I'm saying the behaviour you see is not a compiler bug, it's how C++ works.

This bug report is *not* the right place to discuss it, take it to the gcc-help
mailing list or *anywhere* else.  "I don't understand C++" is not a valid bug.  

So I'm moving this to gcc-help and I'm closing the report again, if the
description Please stop re-opening this report. I will discuss it elsewhere but
not here.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2012-05/msg00029.html for anyone who isn't
sick of this yet.
