Here's a small testcase:
----------------
struct B {};
struct D : B {};
struct S {
int foo(B* & taskData);
};
int i = S().foo((D*)0);
-----------------
We get these messages, the one for 2.95 being slightly more helpful:
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-4.0-pre/bin/c++ -c x.cc
x.cc:8: error: no matching function for call to ?S::foo(D*)?
x.cc:5: note: candidates are: int S::foo(B*&)
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-2.95.3/bin/c++ -c x.cc
x.cc:8: initializing non-const `B *&' with `D *' will use a temporary
x.cc:5: in passing argument 1 of `S::foo(B *&)'
