| 12 | +<p> |
| 13 | +The `meta::define_aggregate` function doesn't say what happens if <i>C</i> |
| 14 | +does not represent a class type. It's also unclear whether it should work |
| 15 | +with aliases to class types, e.g. |
| 16 | +<pre>struct S; using A = S; ... meta::define_aggregate(^^A, {});</pre> |
| 17 | +</p> |

| 22 | +This wording is relative to <paper num="N5014"/>. |

| 27 | +<li><p>Modify <sref ref="[meta.reflection.define.aggregate]"/> as indicated:</p> |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +<blockquote> |
| 30 | +<p>-7- |
| 31 | +Let <i>C</i> be the class represented by |
| 32 | +<code><ins>dealias(</ins>class_type<ins>)</ins></code> |
| 33 | +and <i>r<sub>K</sub></i> be the <i>K</i><sup>th</sup> reflection value |
| 34 | +in `mdescrs`. |
| 35 | +For every <i>r<sub>K</sub></i> in `mdescrs`, |
| 36 | +let (<i>T<sub>K</sub></i>, <i>N<sub>K</sub></i>, <i>A<sub>K</sub></i>, |
| 37 | +<i>W<sub>K</sub></i>, <i>NUA<sub>K</sub></i>) |
| 38 | +be the corresponding data member description represented by |
| 39 | +<i>r<sub>K</sub></i>. |
| 40 | +</p> |
| 41 | +<p>-8- <i>Constant when</i>: |
| 42 | +<ul> |
| 43 | +<li><ins>(8.?) — |
| 44 | +`dealias(class_type)` represents a class type; |
| 45 | +</ins> |
| 46 | +</li> |
| 47 | +<li>(8.1) — |
| 48 | +<i>C</i> is incomplete from every point in the evaluation context; |
| 49 | +</li> |
| 50 | +</ul> |
| 51 | +</p> |
