[Bug c++/14803] New: [3.4.0 regression] Spurious warnings on conversion of pointers to member functions

[jbuck at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The example comes from the widely used SystemC library.  3.4 and later versions
of the compiler produce the spurious warning for some, but not all, explicit
conversions from a pointer to member function of a derived class type, to a
pointer to member function of a base class type.  The standard explcitly states
that such conversions are valid.  The diagnostic is

warning: overflow in implicit constant conversion

This construct appears a lot in SystemC, as it represents actions to be
scheduled as pointers to member functions.
