I'm not sure. When source and destinations un-cv types are the same or base/derived direct initialization and copy initialization are the same (per 8.5/14/4/2) and this fact was (viciously) exploited by the old auto_ptr.
Something's missing from that sentence to make it comprehensible.
It has the same grammatical structure as "When my hand is blue or my hair is green and I was a fool", which is not a complete sentence.
If you parse above sentence as When source and destinations un-cv types are the same or [are] base/derived [, then] direct initialization and copy initialization are the same (per 8.5/14/4/2) and this fact was (viciously) exploited by the old auto_ptr. then it seems perfectly comprehensible to me. I thought both ellipses were correct English, but I will leave this assessment to the native speakers.
