c++/4337: [2003-01-01]c++ ignores cast operator

[Bogdanov, Serge]

Hi,
      The latest analysis by Giovanni solves one mystery, but there is
another one in the same bug report: if the cast operator is removed,
compiler produces warnings.


>>> g++ -o a a.cpp

a.cpp: In function `int main()':
a.cpp:27: warning: choosing `A2::operator A1()' over `A1::A1(const A&)'
a.cpp:27: warning:   for conversion from `A2' to `A1'
a.cpp:27: warning:   because conversion sequence for the argument is =
better

btw, the attempt to use a cast operator was caused by these messages.
Therefore I think that the issue is not closed yet. Please re-open =
it.to use
a cast operator was caused by these messages


I tried it with gcc 3.2.2.
