Greetings!

g++ produces an error "size in array new must have integral type" in
function f2.  I expected the conversion operators to convert x to
size_t, which is an integral type.  They do if I remove *either* the
const *or* the non-const version of operator size_t, and they do for
passing x to function f1 in any case.

Is this a bug?

#include        <cstddef>

struct  X
{
        operator size_t ()                              {       return
2;      }
        operator size_t ()      const   {       return  3;      }
};

char    *f1     (       size_t  n       )               {       return
new     char[n];        }

char    *f2     (       const X &x      )       {       return  new
char[x];        }

int     main    (void)                                  {       }

/*

$ g t.cpp -ot
t.cpp: In function `char* f2(const X&)':
t.cpp:11: size in array new must have integral type
