Why is the move constructor for Base mandatory in case of inheritance (class B) in the following code (both in gcc 7.2 and clang 4.0)? I would expect it not to be required with guaranteed copy elision in C++17, as in case of composition (class A).

struct Base {
    Base(Base&&) = delete;
    Base& operator=(Base&&) = delete;

    Base()
    {
    }
};

Base make_base()
{
    return Base{};
}

struct A {
    A() : b(make_base()) {} // <<<--- compiles fine

    Base b;
};

#ifdef FAIL
struct B : public Base {
    B() : Base(make_base()) {} // <<<--- "Base(Base&&) is deleted"
};
#endif

According to Richard Smith:

This is a defect in the standard wording. Copy elision cannot be guaranteed when initializing a base class subobject, because base classes can have different layout than the corresponding complete object type.
