Full Text Bug Listing

Fails to match a unique operator<<, lists two copies as if they were ambiguous
- but the line numbers are the same: definitely only defined once, only happens
for temporary variable.

Get this error compiling following code...

tkrdev1:~dev/tpcc/error_contexts>  g++ -o txt txt.cc
txt.cc: In function `int main()':
txt.cc:28: no match for `txt << const char[21]' operator
txt.cc:13: candidates are: txt& operator<<(txt&, const V&) [with V = char[21]]
txt.cc:13:                 txt& operator<<(txt&, const V&) [with V = char[21]]
zsh: exit 1     g++ -o txt txt.cc
tkrdev1:~dev/tpcc/error_contexts>  cat txt.cc
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

class txt
{
    ostringstream s;

  public:
    template<typename V>
    friend txt& operator<<(txt& t, const V& v)
    {
        t.s << v;

        return t;
    }

    operator const char*() { return s.str().c_str(); }
};

int main()
{
    txt t;

    cout << (t << "hello world!") << endl;   // ok

    cout << (txt() << "goodbye cruel world!") << endl; //not

    return 0;
}

How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile code snippet provided in description.

Fix:
Fixed in GCC 3.3, 3.4 with:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-03/msg00974.html

State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-Why: Confirmed. The reason, of course, is that you try to bind
    the temporary to a non-const reference. gcc2.95 actually
    tells you this:
    ----------------------------
    tmp/g> c++ -c x.cc
    x.cc: In function `int main()':
    x.cc:28: initialization of non-const reference type `class txt &'
    x.cc:28: from rvalue of type `txt'
    x.cc:13: in passing argument 1 of `operator <<<char[21]>(txt &, const char (&)[21])'
    --------------------------------
    
    The messages we get from 3.2.1 and 3.3 are incomprehensible
    compared to that, which I rate as a regression, so I put
    this into "high" state and leave it to others whether this
    merits fixing.
