6.5.1/2 states:

A while statement of the form while (T t = x) statement is equivalent to [...]

These days a declaration condition can also have the form T t{...}. Presumably the equivalence is also intended to apply when the condition has that form. In that case, I suppose this might meet the criterion for an editorial issue:

Problems with the presentation of the specification, which, when fixed, would not alter the (intended) meaning of the specification.

But I'm not sure :)

This looks like a core issue to me.

@jensmaurer Is the issue perhaps on one of the public issue lists by now?

The existing "of the form T t = x" text also has the problem that "of the form" doesn't fit if T is a function type, i.e. the declarator-id is somewhere nested.
