Structured binding on const
Is the following code supposed to compile?
void foo() {
const std::pair<int, int> x = {1, 2};
auto [a, b] = x;
static_assert(std::is_const_v<decltype(a)>);
static_assert(std::is_const_v<decltype(b)>);
}
MSVC says "yes!".
GCC says "oh no, man!".
Clang says "no way!".
So, is this an MSVC bug?
The standard is not straightforward here (I had a quick look), but considering the rules for auto, I suppose, a and b should be copied discarding cv-qualifier.

Is the following code supposed to compile?
It is not. This is an MSVC bug.
A structured binding declaration introduces a new name (for specification only), e, that is declared like:
auto e = x;
The type of e is called E, and since the initializer is tuple-like, the types of the bindings are given by tuple_element_t<i, E>. In this case E is pair<int, int>, so the two types are just int. The rule for decltype of a structured binding is to give the referenced type, so decltype(a) and decltype(b) are both int.
The important part here is that a and b (the structured bindings) come from the invented variable (e), and not its initializer (x). e is not const because you just declared it auto. What we're doing is copying x, and then taking bindings into this (non-const) copy.

which does indeed fail on MSVC as well.
In C++ expression types decay on assignment: the auto sees an int, not a const int. Structured binding simply lets you do more than a single auto binding at a time.

It is not. This is an MSVC bug.
A structured binding declaration introduces a new name (for specification only), e, that is declared like:
auto e = x;
The type of e is called E, and since the initializer is tuple-like, the types of the bindings are given by tuple_element_t<i, E>. In this case E is pair<int, int>, so the two types are just int. The rule for decltype of a structured binding is to give the referenced type, so decltype(a) and decltype(b) are both int.
The important part here is that a and b (the structured bindings) come from the invented variable (e), and not its initializer (x). e is not const because you just declared it auto. What we're doing is copying x, and then taking bindings into this (non-const) copy.
