[Bug c++/29824] New: std::string() causes assignment errors

[diltsman at gmail dot com]

#include 

int main()
{
std::string a();
a="alskdfjasdj";
return 0;
}

output:
test.cpp: In function int main():
test.cpp:6: error: assignment of function std::string a()
test.cpp:6: error: cannot convert const char [12] to std::string ()() in
assignment

#include 

int main()
{
std::string a("");
a="alskdfjasdj";
return 0;
}

This compiles.

My understanding is that std::string a() and std::string a("") should have
exactly the same result, such that the assignment of the c-string should be
valid in both situations.

I neglected to comment that the command line was:
g++ test.cpp
