@vaporeon_ in C++, functions names are considered lvalues! I cannot say for certain why this decision was make, I would guess this was probably so that "names of things" could correctly describe lvalues
However, a function name is ambiguous if that function is overloaded, so the & operator throws on the name in that case
re: sportsball
@vaporeon_ would you like me to tell you the answer
@soft the lie i tell myself daily
re: sportsball
@vaporeon_ there is exactly one lvalue in C++ that sometimes throws when given to the & operator. can you think of what it is?
Hint: while this kind of expression exists in C, it is not considered an lvalue in C!
