In other words, are you suggesting that the part about "For an object
under construction or destruction" is about establishing two
happens-before relationships -- beginning of construction happens-before
the usage of the glvalue, and such usage happens-before end of
construction -- without which we're falling into the "Otherwise" case?

(Sure, it's a possible reading; but then I'd claim that the text
should've also properly used "before" and "after" instead of "under", as
per the defect resolution...)


However, it begs further clarifications:

1) does "object" in the sentence refer to the complete object or to each
and every subobject being constructed? The entire section seems to refer
to complete objects, in fact Note 1 refers to [class.base.init] for
discussing the lifetime of subobjects.

If that's the case (complete object), then I'd say there's still a problem:


std::thread t;

struct B {
    B() { t = std::thread([&]{ typeid(*this); });
    virtual ~B();
};

struct D : B {
     D() { t.join(); }
} d;





2) does this also mean that this is UB?

struct S {
     S() { std::thread([&]{ this->f(); }).detach(); }
     void f();
} s;

We would be in the "Otherwise" case and triggering 7.2
