Subject: Re: c++/8316: Confusing diagnostic for code that misuses conversion operators
Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2002 17:16:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021220011634.30915.qmail@sources.redhat.com> (raw)

Synopsis: Confusing diagnostic for code that misuses conversion operators

State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-By: bangerth
State-Changed-When: Thu Dec 19 17:16:34 2002
State-Changed-Why:
    Confirmed.
    
    Apart from the unnecessary duplication of error messages
    (where does this come from, this is not even a template
    which would be processed in two phases?), I can only
    think of telling that
      X::operator[] (char)
    is chosen over
      ::operator[] (whatever)
    (note the :: at the beginning). Matt, what better message
    do you have in mind? I think it is not so obvious
    what to say here.
    
    W.
    
    (Ah, and having an index operator that takes a character
    instead of an integer is an abuse as well :-)
