7.5.4.1 General [expr.prim.id.general]

1
#
An id-expression is a restricted form of a primary-expression.
[Note 1: — end note]
2
#
An id-expression that denotes a non-static data member or non-static member function of a class can only be used:
  • (2.1)
    as part of a class member access in which the object expression refers to the member's class61 or a class derived from that class, or
  • (2.2)
    to form a pointer to member ([expr.unary.op]), or
  • (2.3)
    if that id-expression denotes a non-static data member and it appears in an unevaluated operand.
    [Example 1: struct S { int m; }; int i = sizeof(S::m); // OK int j = sizeof(S::m + 42); // OK — end example]
3
#
A potentially-evaluated id-expression that denotes an immediate function shall appear only
4
#
For an id-expression that denotes an overload set, overload resolution is performed to select a unique function ([over.match], [over.over]).
[Note 2:
A program cannot refer to a function with a trailing requires-clause whose constraint-expression is not satisfied, because such functions are never selected by overload resolution.
[Example 2: template<typename T> struct A { static void f(int) requires false; } void g() { A<int>::f(0); // error: cannot call f void (*p1)(int) = A<int>::f; // error: cannot take the address of f decltype(A<int>::f)* p2 = nullptr; // error: the type decltype(A<int>​::​f) is invalid }
In each case, the constraints of f are not satisfied.
In the declaration of p2, those constraints are required to be satisfied even though f is an unevaluated operand.

This also applies when the object expression is an implicit (*this) ([class.mfct.non-static]).
