A literal is a primary expression. Its type depends on its form ([lex.literal]). A string literal is an lvalue; all other literals are prvalues.
The keyword this names a pointer to the object for which a non-static member function ([class.this]) is invoked or a non-static data member's initializer ([class.mem]) is evaluated.
If a declaration declares a member function or member function template of a class X, the expression this is a prvalue of type “pointer to cv-qualifier-seq X” between the optional cv-qualifer-seq and the end of the function-definition, member-declarator, or declarator. It shall not appear before the optional cv-qualifier-seq and it shall not appear within the declaration of a static member function (although its type and value category are defined within a static member function as they are within a non-static member function). [ Note: this is because declaration matching does not occur until the complete declarator is known. — end note ] Unlike the object expression in other contexts, *this is not required to be of complete type for purposes of class member access ([expr.ref]) outside the member function body. [ Note: only class members declared prior to the declaration are visible. — end note ] [ Example:
struct A { char g(); template<class T> auto f(T t) -> decltype(t + g()) { return t + g(); } }; template auto A::f(int t) -> decltype(t + g());
— end example ]
The expression this shall not appear in any other context. [ Example:
class Outer { int a[sizeof(*this)]; unsigned int sz = sizeof(*this); void f() { int b[sizeof(*this)]; struct Inner { int c[sizeof(*this)]; }; } };
— end example ]
A parenthesized expression is a primary expression whose type and value are identical to those of the enclosed expression. The presence of parentheses does not affect whether the expression is an lvalue. The parenthesized expression can be used in exactly the same contexts as those where the enclosed expression can be used, and with the same meaning, except as otherwise indicated.
A ::, or a nested-name-specifier that names a namespace ([basic.namespace]), in either case followed by the name of a member of that namespace (or the name of a member of a namespace made visible by a using-directive) is a qualified-id; [namespace.qual] describes name lookup for namespace members that appear in qualified-ids. The result is the member. The type of the result is the type of the member. The result is an lvalue if the member is a function or a variable and a prvalue otherwise.
A nested-name-specifier that denotes an enumeration ([dcl.enum]), followed by the name of an enumerator of that enumeration, is a qualified-id that refers to the enumerator. The result is the enumerator. The type of the result is the type of the enumeration. The result is a prvalue.
An id-expression that denotes a non-static data member or non-static member function of a class can only be used:
as part of a class member access ([expr.ref]) in which the object expression refers to the member's class63 or a class derived from that class, or
to form a pointer to member ([expr.unary.op]), or
if that id-expression denotes a non-static data member and it appears in an unevaluated operand. [ Example:
struct S { int m; }; int i = sizeof(S::m); int j = sizeof(S::m + 42);
— end example ]
