c++: ambiguous call not diagnosed after DR2352 [PR97296]
DR 2352 changed the definitions of reference-related (so that it uses "similar type" instead of "same type") and of reference-compatible (use a standard conversion sequence). That means that reference-related is now more broad, which means that we will be binding more things directly. The original patch for DR 2352 caused some problems, which were fixed in r276251 by creating a "fake" ck_qual in direct_reference_binding, so that in void f(int *); // #1 void f(const int * const &); // #2 int *x; int main() { f(x); // call #1 } we call #1. The extra ck_qual in #2 causes compare_ics to select #1, which is a better match for "int *" because then we don't have to do a qualification conversion. Let's turn to the problem in this PR. We have void f(const int * const &); // #1 void f(const int *); // #2 int *x; int main() { f(x); } We arrive in compare_ics to decide which one is better. The ICS for #1 looks like ck_ref_bind <- ck_qual <- ck_identity const int *const & const int *const int * and the ICS for #2 is ck_qual <- ck_rvalue <- ck_identity const int * int * int * We strip the reference and then comp_cv_qual_signature when comparing two ck_quals sees that "const int *" is a proper subset of "const int *const" and we return -1. But that's wrong; presumably the top-level "const" should be ignored and the call should be ambiguous. This patch adjust the type of the "fake" ck_qual so that this problem doesn't arise.
