Re: [patch 2/2] Fix overload resolution of int* vs void*



Consider if you are stopped in a method or friend function of a derived
class.  In this case you do have access to the base -- so overload
resolution should work.  But with this patch, it will not.


Gotcha. This makes sense. I have made the change.


Maybe we could come up with some heuristic for when it would be
acceptable and when it would not be.  And maybe overloading should be on
the "respect access" list -- but I think for the time being we should
still ignore it, until we have a good idea of what we want and the
capability to implement it correctly.


If it becomes an issue in the future I think we can solve the problem by introducing a rank for private base conversions that is better than void conversions but worse than public conversions.


Aside from this final issue the patch looks ok to me.

I will commit the patch as attached. I have added comments to the test cases to make debugging the .exp easier.



Fixed void* vs int* overload issue (PR C++/10343).

2010-10-13  Sami Wagiaalla  <swagiaal@redhat.com>

	* gdbtypes.h: Create BASE_PTR_CONVERSION_BADNESS.
	* gdbtypes.c (rank_one_type): Move type comparison code out of here
	to...
	(types_equal): ...here. And changed it as follows:
	Outside of typedefs type must be of the same TYPE_CODE.
	When compairing two pointers or references they are equal if their
	targets are equal.
	Correct pointer conversions.

2010-10-13  Sami Wagiaalla  <swagiaal@redhat.com>

	* gdb.cp/converts.cc: New test program.
	* gdb.cp/converts.exp: New test.
	* gdb.cp/overload.exp: Added test for void* vs int*.
	* gdb.cp/overload.exp: Ditto.
	* gdb.cp/oranking.exp: Removed related kfail.
