Subject: [Bug c++/20746] New: Incorrect return value for covariant return function returning null ptr
X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC
X-SW-Source: 2005-04/txt/msg00303.txt.bz2
List-Id: <gcc-bugs.sourceware.org>

Using g++3.4.3 (gcc version 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)) to compile a 
testcase with covariant return types. In the testcase, the covariant function 
C::l() returns a null pointer, g++3.4.3 does the return value adjustment and 
returns a non-null return value ( which is incorrectly).
Here is the steps to reproduce the problem and the execution result:
>g++ t.C
>a.out 
in C* C::l
cp=0x8
