[Bug c++/29824] New: std::string() causes assignment errors

#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::string a();
    a="alskdfjasdj";
    return 0;
}

output:
test.cpp: In function int main():
test.cpp:6: error: assignment of function std::string a()
test.cpp:6: error: cannot convert const char [12] to std::string ()() in
assignment

#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::string a("");
    a="alskdfjasdj";
    return 0;
}

This compiles.

My understanding is that std::string a() and std::string a("") should have
exactly the same result, such that the assignment of the c-string should be
valid in both situations.

I neglected to comment that the command line was:
g++ test.cpp

    std::string a();

This declares a function that returns std::string.

This is what the C++ standard says how to resolve this ambigous statement.
