void h(){ f()^=g(); }
[]$ /bin/g++ -Wconversion -c a.cpp 
a.cpp: In function ‘void h()’:

```

Similar to https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38522, but this only
happens with reference returned from functions. Local reference created in the
function or local variable does not raise the bug.
