The following code, if compiled with G++ 1.35.0- on a Sun3 will
fail compilation even though (I believe) that it is perfectly
legal code.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
// Check that it is legal to convert an object of a derived class
// to an object of a base class.

struct base {
	base () {}
	base (float x, float y) {}	// Conversion tries to call this
					// Who knows why?
};

struct derived : public base
{
};

base	base_object;
derived derived_object;

int main ()
{
	base_object = (base) derived_object;
	return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In function int main ():
a027.C:19: aggregate value used where a float was expected
a027.C:19: too few arguments to function
