Eh?  char *ep = r + sizeof(r); involves one array-to-pointer conversion
just as char *ep = (&r)[1]; does.

Can you point to where this is made UB in the C++ standard?

There is an ambiguous phrase in the C standard ("undefined behaviour if
the * is evaluated") but that phrase is entirely missing in the C++
text.  And I got lost in the forest of rvalues, lvalues, prvalues,
xvalues and glvalues without finding anything undefined.  Can you find
it?

C++ may well make it explicitly UB, but then C++ has a stronger reason
not to, since taking a reference is (surely?) not intended to outlawed:

  int a[10];
  int (&r)[10] = (&a)[1];

C++ has special wording to permit taking a reference to the lvalue that
results from applying * to some pointers with incomplete types -- an
operation this unequivocally undefined by the C standard -- so applying
* in some otherwise undefined situations is an area with some recognised
special cases.

There was talk about filing a DR (for WG14) over in comp.lang.c but I
don't think anyone did.
