Hello there,

Following on from an outbreak of compiler disagreement,

// is this ambiguous or not ?

// workaround is to use cast on lhs



#include <iostream.h>


class S
{

public:
	
	S( char ) {
		
		cerr << "S::S char\n";
	
	};
	
	S( unsigned char ) {
		
		cerr << "S::S char\n";
	
	};
};



operator == ( char, const S &)
 
{
	
	cerr << "operator ==\n";

};



class R
{

public:
	
	enum { a, b, c};
	
	operator int () {
		
		cerr << "R::operator int\n";
	
	};

};



int
main()

{
	
	R z;
	
	// if ((int) z == R::a)
	// workaround line
	if (z == R::a)
 // ambiguous ?
		;

}

my opinion is that the code is ok, and the compilers that think it is
ambiguous are wrong.

Your opinion sought
