[Bug c++/14958] incorrect compile of ?:, specifically ptr = flag? class_obj: 0;

Indeed. First, the result 
type of any expression is independent of the type of the variable 
it is assigned to, so the conversion you proposed can't happen. 
Second, the type of one of the 2nd/3rd parameters to the ?: operator 
is converted to the type of the other one if possible. In your case, 
  flag? foo : 0 
is equivalent to 
  flag? foo : (foo)0 
with foo=tmparray<short>.
