            Bug ID: 80896
           Summary: [[nodiscard]] is ignored for functions returning
                    references
           Product: gcc
           Version: 7.1.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: iamsupermouse at mail dot ru
  Target Milestone: ---

Following produces no warnings:

    int x = 42;
    [[nodiscard]] int &func() {return x;}

    int main() {func();}

But removing the `&` brings the warning back. (`warning: ignoring return value
of '…', declared with attribute nodiscard [-Wunused-result]`)

No flags are needed to reproduce. -Wall, -Wextra, -pedantic-errors, or
-std=c++17 change nothing.

  g++ --version
