Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords| |diagnostic --- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The standard now says "Converting a function pointer to an object pointer type or vice versa is conditionally-supported." GCC supports it, so there is not even a warning in GCC 4.9 or later, so it's not very likely any change will be made to 4.8 now.
