Bug ID: 79318
Summary: conversion member function preceded with & is not
marked as error
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gcc at mailinator dot com
Target Milestone: ---
See example and discussion on
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41954449/what-does-gccs-conversion-function-operator-int-do
Conversion member function declaration like
&operator int ();
does not produce a warning or error and is interpreted as
operator int& ();
by GCC. It fails on e.g. CLANG.
Usage of & in front of operator seems not to be covered by the language
definition.
Verified up to gcc 6.3.
