>Description:
convtest.cc:25: ambiguous overload for `B& = C&' operator
convtest.cc:9: candidates are: void B::operator=(const A&)
convtest.cc:10:                void B::operator=(const B&)

The second assignment operator (line 10) has to be chosen IMO because of section 13.3.3.2/3 of the standard. Compiles with gcc 3.3 / 3.4 but emits warnings (why?)


class A {
    public:
        A() {}
};

class B : public A {
    public:
        B() {}
        void operator=(const A& b) {}
        void operator=(const B& b) {}
};

class C {
    public:
        C() {}
        operator B &() { return _b; }
        operator const B &() const { return _b; }

        B _b;
};

int main() {
    B b;
    C c;
    b = c;
}
