gcc version 4.4.0 20081123 (experimental) (GCC)
rejects the AFAICT-valid code:
#include <bitset>
class C0 {
public:
C0() : b(0) { } // FAILS.
private:
std::bitset<1> b;
};
class C1 {
public:
C1() : b(1) { } // OK!
private:
std::bitset<1> b;
};
void func() {
C0 val0;
C1 val1;
}
(in particular, the 'C0' initialization) with the error:
test.cc: In constructor 'C0::C0()':
test.cc:5: error: call of overloaded 'bitset(int)' is ambiguous
/g/users/cgd/proj/gcc-trunk/inst/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-linux/4.4.0/../../../../include/c++/4.4.0/bitset:808:
note: candidates are: std::bitset<_Nb>::bitset(const char*, char, char) [with
unsigned int _Nb = 1u]
/g/users/cgd/proj/gcc-trunk/inst/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-linux/4.4.0/../../../../include/c++/4.4.0/bitset:744:
note: std::bitset<_Nb>::bitset(long unsigned int) [with
unsigned int _Nb = 1u]
/g/users/cgd/proj/gcc-trunk/inst/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-linux/4.4.0/../../../../include/c++/4.4.0/bitset:652:
note: std::bitset<1u>::bitset(const std::bitset<1u>&)
I'm not completely sure what's going on here, but I'm thinking it's related to
the fact that the 'char*' ctor actually has two default arguments, and 0 is
convertible to a pointer.
This code is accepted by GCC 4.3.2 and the Comeau test drive.
