I have a question about what may be a syntactic ambiguity in C++. This occurs partly because the Draft Reference Manual no longer prohibits redundant parentheses in declarators. What happens is that something between parentheses following a declarator can be either the expression-list of an initializer or the argument-declaration-list of a function declarator. For example: struct S { S(int); }; void foo() { int y; S x(int(y)); // int(y) can be an argument declaration or an expression } Has a resolution for this been proposed? The 2.0(+?) version of cfront I'm using interprets int(y) as an expression. -- Prescott K.
