             Bug #: 50710
           Summary: ambiguity problem between bool() and string()
                    operators, when used on a string that's a class member
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: solvedsn...@gmail.com

The preprocessed test case

struct foo{
  operator bool() {return true;}
  operator string() {return "hello";}
};

foo bar;
string s = bar;

gcc behaves properly, and assings "hello" to s.
However, if s is a member of a struct, gcc gets confused, and complains about
ambiguous overload.

Output of gcc -v:

Using built-in specs.
