[Bug c++/29188] New: accepts-invalid ambiguous between conversion function/constructor. related to const

["greifel at megatop200 dot com" <gcc-bugzilla@gcc.gnu.org>]

g++ release 4.1.1 compiles the following invalid code without detecting an
error.
It does correctly find the error with -pedantic. Interestingly (perhaps), it
also correctly detects the ambiguous call where the argument involved is const
- as demonstrated by the second compilation below with the macro C2 defined:

sjh@mill:~/c++/compiler$ g++ -c conversion.ambig.c
sjh@mill:~/c++/compiler$ cat conversion.ambig.c
class Source;

class Destination
{
public:
Destination() {}
Destination (const Source& source) {}
};

class Source
{
public:
Source() {}
operator Destination() const { return Destination();}
};

Source source;
Destination wolf =  source; // ambiguous

#ifdef C2
const Source source2;
Destination wolf2 =  source2; // ambiguous
#endif
sjh@mill:~/c++/compiler$ g++ -D C2 conversion.ambig.c
conversion.ambig.c:22: error: conversion from 'const Source' to 'Destination'
is ambiguous
conversion.ambig.c:14: note: candidates are: Source::operator Destination()
const
conversion.ambig.c:7: note:                 Destination::Destination(const
Source&)
