>Description:
In the code below the cast 'a1 = (A1)a2' should be resolved
through the explicit cast operator 'A2::operator A1().
The compiler silently ignores it and uses the path
downcasting A2 to A and using the 'A1(const A &)'
constructor.
If you remove the explicit casting (A1), it will complain
about an ambiguous conversion which I belive is wrong since
the explicit cast operator exixts:
a.cpp: In function `int main()':
a.cpp:26: warning: choosing `A2::operator A1()' over `A1::A1(const A&)'
a.cpp:26: warning: for conversion from `A2' to `A1'
a.cpp:26: warning: because conversion sequence for the argument is better

#include <iostream.h>
struct A {
};
struct A1 : public A {
A1(const A &) {
cout << "A1(const A &)" << endl;
}
A1() {
cout << "A1()" << endl;
}
};
A1 X;
struct A2 : public A {
operator A1() {
cout << "operator A1()" << endl;
return X;
}
};
int main()
{
A2 a2;
A1 a1;
a1 = (A1)a2;
}

A1()
A1()
operator A1()
