------- Additional Comments From papadopo at shfj dot cea dot fr 2005-05-18 14:56 ------- I guess what I meant is: whatever the reason for this error message and whatever the eventual decision taken about it, it would be nice to have an error message that really means something to end-users.
For example, as an end-user, I still can't understand the difference between the explicit cast and the implicit (non-)cast, why it works in the first case and not in the latter. The error message shoudl really point at what's wrong in the source code, not at what's wrong in the C++ standard. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21514
