Dear all, I would like to post a bug report for the GNU C/C++ compiler 3.3-e500.
We use the compiler to generate code for a PowerPC processor. Used invokation line for the GNU C++ compiler: ccppc -c -x c++ -ansi -Wall -Werror -mcpu=8540 -fverbose-asm -mbig -fmerge-templates -mmultiple -mno-string -mstrict-align -O3 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fno-builtin-printf -I<some include paths> -D<some #define's> X.CPP -oX.O // file X.CPP void g (void*); struct ABC { template <typename T_, typename U_> ABC (void (T_::* ptrFunc)(), U_& refObj) { T_* pObj = &refObj; g (pObj); // <--- line 9 } }; struct DEF { void f () const; }; DEF def; ABC abc(&DEF::f, def); The compiler gives the following error message: X.CPP: In constructor `ABC::ABC(void (T_::*)(), U_&) [with T_ = const DEF, U_ = DEF]': X.CPP:19: instantiated from here X.CPP:9: error: invalid conversion from `const void*' to `void*' The compilation of the code above fails but for a wrong reason: it should fail because the pointer to function f has type 'void (DEF::*)() const' and there is no constructor available whose first parameter fits the mentioned type. But the GNU compiler erronously deduces the type 'void (const DEF::*)()' for the first constructor parameter as the error message shows. Kind regards W.
