'string'（又名'basic_string<char>'）的初始化没有匹配的构造函数

Question

代码如下：

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std; 

class Foo { 
public:
    operator string() const { return n; }
    string n {"foo"};
};

int main (int argc, char** argv) {

    string s {Foo{}};
    cout << s << endl;

    return 0;
}

此代码使用 gcc 4.8.3 编译，但不使用 clang 3.5 编译，有人能告诉我它有什么问题吗？

我遇到这样的错误：

main.cpp:45:12: error: no matching constructor for initialization of 'string' (aka 'basic_string<char>')
    string s {Foo{}};
           ^ ~~~~~~~

clang --version:

clang version 3.5.0 (tags/RELEASE_350/final 216961)
Target: x86_64-suse-linux
Thread model: posix

谢谢

我认为这是一个 clang 错误。根据 [dcl.init.list] 中的列表初始化规则：

List-initialization of an object or reference of type T is defined as follows:

If T is a class type and the initializer list has a single element of type cv U, where U is T or a class derived from T, [...]

Otherwise, if T is a character array and [...]

Otherwise, if T is an aggregate, [...]

Otherwise, if the initializer list has no elements [...]

Otherwise, if T is a specialization of std::initializer_list<E>, [...]

Otherwise, if T is a class type, constructors are considered. The applicable constructors are enumerated and the best one is chosen through overload resolution (13.3, 13.3.1.7). If a narrowing conversion (see below) is required to convert any of the arguments, the program is ill-formed.

[...]

T是class类型，所以我们考虑basic_string constructors。该列表中的#7（复制构造函数）是一个适用的、可行的构造函数，因此应该选择它。此时，这些表达式应该是等价的：

struct Foo {
    operator std::string() const { return "hello"; }
};

std::string s{Foo{}};  // error
std::string s(Foo{});  // OK
std::string s = Foo{}; // OK

但是出于某种原因，在列表初始化的情况下，clang 抱怨有：

no known conversion from Foo to const std::__cxx11::basic_string<char> & for 1st argument

虽然有，所以我将其归档为 LLVM Bug 23658。
