Thank you for your response. I agree with you. I think such local
class should be a dependent type. I think [temp.dep.type] should be
modified to cover this case. In addition, I think another example also
affected by such change. Please look at this
example(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63515742/a-issue-about-the-second-phase-name-lookup-for-default-argument),
According to [temp.inst#11], that means the closure type as if it was
declared in the enclosing function scope. if such local closure type
is not be considered as dependent-type. How does the second phase name
lookup occur for such name? Like what I have pointed out in that
question, the latest gcc agree with that "zap" is not a dependent
name. It seems to not the intention of proposal resolution 1664.
