The Standard requires GCC to not accept this snippet. Its description of
"delete" does not dictate overload resolution, but requires a single conversion
function to pointer type. This was handled correctly by GCC4.4, but fails with
4.6 and 4.5 (regression?)
struct A {
operator int*() { return 0; }
operator int*() const { return 0; }
};
int main() {
A a;
int *p = a; // works
delete a; // shouldn't work, but does!
}
Expected output:
main1.cpp:9:3: error: ambiguous conversion of delete expression of type 'A' to
a pointer
delete a; // shouldn't work, but does!
^ ~
main1.cpp:2:3: note: candidate function
operator int*() { return 0; }
^
main1.cpp:3:3: note: candidate function
operator int*() const { return 0; }
