[Voted into the WP at the March, 2011 meeting as part of paper N3262.]

Proposed resolution (August, 2010) [SUPERSEDED]:

Change 12.2.4.3 [over.ics.rank] bullet 3.2 as follows:

  • User-defined conversion sequence U1 is a better conversion sequence than another user-defined conversion sequence U2 if they contain the same user-defined conversion function or constructor or aggregate initialization and if the second standard conversion sequence of U1 is better than the second standard conversion sequence of U2.

The current wording makes some calls involving aggregate initialization ambiguous that should not be. For example, the calls below to f and g should each prefer the second overload:

    struct A { int i; };

    void f (const A &);
    void f (A &&);

    void g (A, double);
    void g (A, int);

    int main() {
       f ( { 1 } );
       g ( { 1 }, 1 );
    }
