Referring to the section you quote: it says that the compiler is free to choose either of 
the two possibilities. The second one is to convert to a temporay of type "cv1 T2", 
which in your case is "const B", just as explained in the example there. But the 
copy constructor of B _is_ accessible, so gcc would be allowed to accept the code. 
 
What do I miss?
