An *implicit conversion sequence* is a sequence of conversions used to

convert an argument in a function call to the type of the corresponding

parameter of the function being called. The sequence of conversions is

An *implicit conversion sequence* is a sequence of conversions used to
|
| 4 |
convert an argument in a function call to the type of the corresponding
|
| 5 |
parameter of the function being called. The sequence of conversions is
|
| 6 |
+
an implicit conversion as defined in [[conv]], which means it is
|
| 7 |
governed by the rules for initialization of an object or reference by a
|
| 8 |
single expression ([[dcl.init]], [[dcl.init.ref]]).
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Implicit conversion sequences are concerned only with the type,
|
| 11 |
cv-qualification, and value category of the argument and how these are
|
| 12 |
+
converted to match the corresponding properties of the parameter.
|
| 13 |

[*Note 1*: Other properties, such as the lifetime, storage class,
|
| 15 |

alignment, accessibility of the argument, whether the argument is a
|
| 16 |
+
bit-field, and whether a function is deleted [[dcl.fct.def.delete]], are
|
| 17 |
+
ignored. So, although an implicit conversion sequence can be defined for
|
| 18 |
+
a given argument-parameter pair, the conversion from the argument to the

parameter might still be ill-formed in the final

analysis. — *end note*]

However, if the target is

|
| 31 |
- the first parameter of a constructor or
|
| 32 |
- the implicit object parameter of a user-defined conversion function
|
|
|
|
| 43 |
is the first parameter of a constructor of class `X`, and the
|
| 44 |
conversion is to `X` or reference to cv `X`,
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
user-defined conversion sequences are not considered.
|
| 47 |
|

[*Note 2*: These rules prevent more than one user-defined conversion

from being applied during overload resolution, thereby avoiding infinite
|

recursion. — *end note*]

For the case where the parameter type is a reference, see
|
|
|
|
| 71 |
sequence models a copy-initialization of the parameter from the argument
|
| 72 |
expression. The implicit conversion sequence is the one required to
|
| 73 |
convert the argument expression to a prvalue of the type of the
|
| 74 |
parameter.
|
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
+
[*Note 3*: When the parameter has a class type, this is a conceptual
|
| 77 |
+
conversion defined for the purposes of [[over]]; the actual
|
| 78 |
initialization is defined in terms of constructors and is not a
|
| 79 |
conversion. — *end note*]
|
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
Any difference in top-level cv-qualification is subsumed by the
|
| 82 |
initialization itself and does not constitute a conversion.
|
|
|
|
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
When the parameter has a class type and the argument expression has the
|
| 90 |
same type, the implicit conversion sequence is an identity conversion.
|
| 91 |
When the parameter has a class type and the argument expression has a
|
| 92 |
derived class type, the implicit conversion sequence is a
|
| 93 |
+
derived-to-base conversion from the derived class to the base class.
|
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
+
[*Note 4*: There is no such standard conversion; this derived-to-base
|
| 96 |
+
conversion exists only in the description of implicit conversion
|
| 97 |
sequences. — *end note*]
|
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
+
A derived-to-base conversion has Conversion rank [[over.ics.scs]].
|
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
In all contexts, when converting to the implicit object parameter or
|
| 102 |
when converting to the left operand of an assignment operation only
|
| 103 |
standard conversion sequences are allowed.
|
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
If no conversions are required to match an argument to a parameter type,
|
| 106 |
the implicit conversion sequence is the standard conversion sequence
|
| 107 |
+
consisting of the identity conversion [[over.ics.scs]].
|
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
If no sequence of conversions can be found to convert an argument to a
|
| 110 |
parameter type, an implicit conversion sequence cannot be formed.
|
| 111 |
|
| 112 |
+
If there are multiple well-formed implicit conversion sequences
|
| 113 |
+
converting the argument to the parameter type, the implicit conversion
|
| 114 |
+
sequence associated with the parameter is defined to be the unique
|
| 115 |
+
conversion sequence designated the *ambiguous conversion sequence*. For
|
| 116 |
+
the purpose of ranking implicit conversion sequences as described in
|
| 117 |
[[over.ics.rank]], the ambiguous conversion sequence is treated as a
|
| 118 |
user-defined conversion sequence that is indistinguishable from any
|
| 119 |
other user-defined conversion sequence.
|
| 120 |
|
| 121 |
+
[*Note 5*:
|
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
This rule prevents a function from becoming non-viable because of an
|
| 124 |
ambiguous conversion sequence for one of its parameters.
|
| 125 |
|
| 126 |
[*Example 3*:
|
|
|
|
| 131 |
class B { operator A (); };
|
| 132 |
class C { C (B&); };
|
| 133 |
void f(A) { }
|
| 134 |
void f(C) { }
|
| 135 |
B b;
|
| 136 |
+
f(b); // error: ambiguous because there is a conversion b → C (via constructor)
|
| 137 |
// and an (ambiguous) conversion b → A (via constructor or conversion function)
|
| 138 |
void f(B) { }
|
| 139 |
f(b); // OK, unambiguous
|
| 140 |
```

|
|

The three forms of implicit conversion sequences mentioned above are
|
| 151 |
defined in the following subclauses.
|
| 152 |
|
| 153 |
##### Standard conversion sequences <a id="over.ics.scs">[[over.ics.scs]]</a>
|
| 154 |
|
| 155 |
+
summarizes the conversions defined in [[conv]] and partitions them into
|
| 156 |
+
four disjoint categories: Lvalue Transformation, Qualification
|
| 157 |
+
Adjustment, Promotion, and Conversion.
|
|
|
|
| 158 |
|
| 159 |
+
[*Note 6*: These categories are orthogonal with respect to value
|
| 160 |
category, cv-qualification, and data representation: the Lvalue
|
| 161 |
Transformations do not change the cv-qualification or data
|
| 162 |
representation of the type; the Qualification Adjustments do not change
|
| 163 |
the value category or data representation of the type; and the
|
| 164 |
Promotions and Conversions do not change the value category or
|
| 165 |
cv-qualification of the type. — *end note*]
|
| 166 |
|
| 167 |
+
[*Note 7*: As described in [[conv]], a standard conversion sequence
|
| 168 |
+
either is the Identity conversion by itself (that is, no conversion) or
|
| 169 |
+
consists of one to three conversions from the other four categories. If
|
| 170 |
+
there are two or more conversions in the sequence, the conversions are
|
| 171 |
+
applied in the canonical order: **Lvalue Transformation**, **Promotion**
|
| 172 |
+
or **Conversion**, **Qualification Adjustment**. — *end note*]
|
|
|
|
| 173 |
|
| 174 |
+
Each conversion in [[over.ics.scs]] also has an associated rank (Exact
|
| 175 |
+
Match, Promotion, or Conversion). These are used to rank standard
|
| 176 |
+
conversion sequences [[over.ics.rank]]. The rank of a conversion
|
| 177 |
+
sequence is determined by considering the rank of each conversion in the
|
| 178 |
+
sequence and the rank of any reference binding [[over.ics.ref]]. If any
|
| 179 |
+
of those has Conversion rank, the sequence has Conversion rank;
|
| 180 |
+
otherwise, if any of those has Promotion rank, the sequence has
|
| 181 |
+
Promotion rank; otherwise, the sequence has Exact Match rank.

|
| 192 |
##### User-defined conversion sequences <a id="over.ics.user">[[over.ics.user]]</a>
|
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
+
A *user-defined conversion sequence* consists of an initial standard
|
| 195 |
+
conversion sequence followed by a user-defined conversion [[class.conv]]
|
| 196 |
+
followed by a second standard conversion sequence. If the user-defined
|
| 197 |
+
conversion is specified by a constructor [[class.conv.ctor]], the
|
| 198 |
+
initial standard conversion sequence converts the source type to the
|
| 199 |
+
type required by the argument of the constructor. If the user-defined
|
| 200 |
+
conversion is specified by a conversion function [[class.conv.fct]], the
|
| 201 |
+
initial standard conversion sequence converts the source type to the
|
| 202 |
+
implicit object parameter of the conversion function.
|
|
|
|
| 203 |
|
| 204 |
The second standard conversion sequence converts the result of the
|
| 205 |
+
user-defined conversion to the target type for the sequence; any
|
| 206 |
+
reference binding is included in the second standard conversion
|
| 207 |
+
sequence. Since an implicit conversion sequence is an initialization,
|
| 208 |
+
the special rules for initialization by user-defined conversion apply
|
| 209 |
+
when selecting the best user-defined conversion for a user-defined
|
| 210 |
+
conversion sequence (see [[over.match.best]] and [[over.best.ics]]).
|
| 211 |
|
| 212 |
If the user-defined conversion is specified by a specialization of a
|
| 213 |
conversion function template, the second standard conversion sequence
|
| 214 |
shall have exact match rank.
|
| 215 |
|
|
|
|
| 225 |
call is matched with the ellipsis parameter specification of the
|
| 226 |
function called (see [[expr.call]]).
|
| 227 |
|
| 228 |
##### Reference binding <a id="over.ics.ref">[[over.ics.ref]]</a>
|
| 229 |
|
| 230 |
+
When a parameter of reference type binds directly [[dcl.init.ref]] to an
|
| 231 |
+
argument expression, the implicit conversion sequence is the identity
|
| 232 |
conversion, unless the argument expression has a type that is a derived
|
| 233 |
class of the parameter type, in which case the implicit conversion
|
| 234 |
+
sequence is a derived-to-base Conversion [[over.best.ics]].
|
| 235 |
|
| 236 |
[*Example 4*:
|
| 237 |
|
| 238 |
``` cpp
|
| 239 |
struct A {};
|
|
|
|
| 245 |
|
| 246 |
— *end example*]
|
| 247 |
|
| 248 |
If the parameter binds directly to the result of applying a conversion
|
| 249 |
function to the argument expression, the implicit conversion sequence is
|
| 250 |
+
a user-defined conversion sequence [[over.ics.user]], with the second
|
| 251 |
standard conversion sequence either an identity conversion or, if the
|
| 252 |
conversion function returns an entity of a type that is a derived class
|
| 253 |
+
of the parameter type, a derived-to-base conversion.
|
| 254 |
|
| 255 |
When a parameter of reference type is not bound directly to an argument
|
| 256 |
expression, the conversion sequence is the one required to convert the
|
| 257 |
argument expression to the referenced type according to
|
| 258 |
[[over.best.ics]]. Conceptually, this conversion sequence corresponds to
|
| 259 |
copy-initializing a temporary of the referenced type with the argument
|
| 260 |
expression. Any difference in top-level cv-qualification is subsumed by
|
| 261 |
the initialization itself and does not constitute a conversion.
|
| 262 |
|
| 263 |
Except for an implicit object parameter, for which see
|
| 264 |
+
[[over.match.funcs]], an implicit conversion sequence cannot be formed
|
| 265 |
+
if it requires binding an lvalue reference other than a reference to a
|
| 266 |
non-volatile `const` type to an rvalue or binding an rvalue reference to
|
| 267 |
an lvalue other than a function lvalue.
|
| 268 |
|
| 269 |
+
[*Note 8*: This means, for example, that a candidate function cannot be
|
| 270 |
a viable function if it has a non-`const` lvalue reference parameter
|
| 271 |
(other than the implicit object parameter) and the corresponding
|
| 272 |
argument would require a temporary to be created to initialize the
|
| 273 |
lvalue reference (see [[dcl.init.ref]]). — *end note*]
|
| 274 |
|
| 275 |
Other restrictions on binding a reference to a particular argument that
|
| 276 |
are not based on the types of the reference and the argument do not
|
| 277 |
+
affect the formation of an implicit conversion sequence, however.
|
| 278 |
|
| 279 |
[*Example 5*: A function with an “lvalue reference to `int`” parameter
|
| 280 |
can be a viable candidate even if the corresponding argument is an `int`
|
| 281 |
bit-field. The formation of implicit conversion sequences treats the
|
| 282 |
`int` bit-field as an `int` lvalue and finds an exact match with the
|
| 283 |
parameter. If the function is selected by overload resolution, the call
|
| 284 |
will nonetheless be ill-formed because of the prohibition on binding a
|
| 285 |
+
non-`const` lvalue reference to a bit-field
|
| 286 |
+
[[dcl.init.ref]]. — *end example*]
|
| 287 |
|
| 288 |
##### List-initialization sequence <a id="over.ics.list">[[over.ics.list]]</a>
|
| 289 |
|
| 290 |
+
When an argument is an initializer list [[dcl.init.list]], it is not an
|
| 291 |
+
expression and special rules apply for converting it to a parameter
|
| 292 |
type.
|
| 293 |
|
| 294 |
+
If the initializer list is a *designated-initializer-list*, a conversion
|
| 295 |
+
is only possible if the parameter has an aggregate type that can be
|
| 296 |
+
initialized from the initializer list according to the rules for
|
| 297 |
+
aggregate initialization [[dcl.init.aggr]], in which case the implicit
|
| 298 |
+
conversion sequence is a user-defined conversion sequence whose second
|
| 299 |
+
standard conversion sequence is an identity conversion.
|
| 300 |
|
| 301 |
+
[*Note 9*:
|
| 302 |
+
|
| 303 |
+
Aggregate initialization does not require that the members are declared
|
| 304 |
+
in designation order. If, after overload resolution, the order does not
|
| 305 |
+
match for the selected overload, the initialization of the parameter
|
| 306 |
+
will be ill-formed [[dcl.init.list]].
|
| 307 |
+
|
| 308 |
+
[*Example 6*:
|
| 309 |
+
|
| 310 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 311 |
+
struct A { int x, y; };
|
| 312 |
+
struct B { int y, x; };
|
| 313 |
+
void f(A a, int); // #1
|
| 314 |
+
void f(B b, ...); // #2
|
| 315 |
+
void g(A a); // #3
|
| 316 |
+
void g(B b); // #4
|
| 317 |
+
void h() {
|
| 318 |
+
f({.x = 1, .y = 2}, 0); // OK; calls #1
|
| 319 |
+
f({.y = 2, .x = 1}, 0); // error: selects #1, initialization of a fails
|
| 320 |
+
// due to non-matching member order[dcl.init.list]
|
| 321 |
+
g({.x = 1, .y = 2}); // error: ambiguous between #3 and #4
|
| 322 |
+
}
|
| 323 |
+
```
|
| 324 |
+
|
| 325 |
+
— *end example*]
|
| 326 |
+
|
| 327 |
+
— *end note*]
|
| 328 |
+
|
| 329 |
+
Otherwise, if the parameter type is an aggregate class `X` and the
|
| 330 |
+
initializer list has a single element of type cv `U`, where `U` is `X`
|
| 331 |
+
or a class derived from `X`, the implicit conversion sequence is the one
|
| 332 |
+
required to convert the element to the parameter type.
|
| 333 |
+
|
| 334 |
+
Otherwise, if the parameter type is a character array [^10] and the
|
| 335 |
initializer list has a single element that is an appropriately-typed
|
| 336 |
+
*string-literal* [[dcl.init.string]], the implicit conversion sequence
|
| 337 |
is the identity conversion.
|
| 338 |
|
| 339 |
Otherwise, if the parameter type is `std::initializer_list<X>` and all
|
| 340 |
the elements of the initializer list can be implicitly converted to `X`,
|
| 341 |
the implicit conversion sequence is the worst conversion necessary to
|
| 342 |
convert an element of the list to `X`, or if the initializer list has no
|
| 343 |
elements, the identity conversion. This conversion can be a user-defined
|
| 344 |
conversion even in the context of a call to an initializer-list
|
| 345 |
constructor.
|
| 346 |
|
| 347 |
+
[*Example 7*:
|
| 348 |
|

``` cpp
|
| 350 |
void f(std::initializer_list<int>);

| 351 |
f( {} ); // OK: f(initializer_list<int>) identity conversion
|
| 352 |
f( {1,2,3} ); // OK: f(initializer_list<int>) identity conversion
|
|
|
|
| 368 |
h({ 1, 2, 3 }); // OK: identity conversion

```

|
| 371 |
— *end example*]
|
| 372 |
|
| 373 |
+
Otherwise, if the parameter type is “array of `N` `X`” or “array of
|
| 374 |
+
unknown bound of `X`”, if there exists an implicit conversion sequence
|
| 375 |
+
from each element of the initializer list (and from `{}` in the former
|
| 376 |
+
case if `N` exceeds the number of elements in the initializer list) to
|
| 377 |
+
`X`, the implicit conversion sequence is the worst such implicit
|
| 378 |
+
conversion sequence.
|
| 379 |
|
| 380 |
Otherwise, if the parameter is a non-aggregate class `X` and overload
|
| 381 |
resolution per [[over.match.list]] chooses a single best constructor
|
| 382 |
`C` of `X` to perform the initialization of an object of type `X` from
|
| 383 |
the argument initializer list:
|
|
|
|
| 394 |
the implicit conversion sequence is the ambiguous conversion sequence.
|
| 395 |
User-defined conversions are allowed for conversion of the initializer
|
| 396 |
list elements to the constructor parameter types except as noted in
|
| 397 |
[[over.best.ics]].

Otherwise, if the parameter has an aggregate type which can be
|
| 434 |
initialized from the initializer list according to the rules for
|
| 435 |
+
aggregate initialization [[dcl.init.aggr]], the implicit conversion
|
| 436 |
sequence is a user-defined conversion sequence with the second standard
|
| 437 |
conversion sequence an identity conversion.
