[Bug c++/36407] New: [4.3/4.4 regression] ICE with invalid conversion

[reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following invalid code snippet triggers an ICE on mainline and the
4.3 branch:

====================================================
struct A
{
  A(const A&);
};

struct B
{
  operator A&();
};

void foo(const B& b)
{
  const A a = b;
}
====================================================

bug.cc: In function 'void foo(const B&)':
bug.cc:13: error: passing 'const B' as 'this' argument of 'B::operator A&()'
discards qualifiers
bug.cc:13: error: invalid conversion from 'A' to 'A'
bug.cc:13: internal compiler error: in ocp_convert, at cp/cvt.c:627
Please submit a full bug report, [etc.]

This is a regression on the 4.3 branch as 4.3.0 didn't crash.

Note, that the error message "invalid conversion from 'A' to 'A'" isn't
really helpful.
