Hi,

Not being an ANSI C++ guru I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.
Suffice to say it was OK with gcc-2.8.1

The following code:


void func( void (*)( int ) ) {
}


class A
{
public:
    A( void ) {
        func( &mf );
    }

private:
    static void mf( int );
    void mf( char );
};



When compiled with:

gcc -c -Wall ol.cxx

gave:

ol.cxx: In method `A::A()':
ol.cxx:9: warning: converting from `void (A::*)(char)' to `void
(*)(int)'


It looks like an error to me since clearly there is a m/f that matches
exactly and it is not being used.

Hope this is useful.  Take care.

Mike.
