Bug ID: 77465
Summary: rejected C-style cast involving casting away constness
from result of conversion operator
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: bbi5291 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The following code should compile, but does not. The Standard says that a
C-style cast can perform the conversion performed by a static_cast followed by
a const_cast. In this code, a static_cast followed by a const_cast is
well-formed, but the C-style cast is rejected. See also
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_closed.html#909
struct S {
typedef const int* P;
operator P() { return nullptr; }
};
int main() {
int* p1 = const_cast<int*>(static_cast<const int*>(S{}));
int* p2 = (int*)(S{});
}
Using built-in specs.
