[Bug c++/10343] New: gdb selects wrong function overload

["andre dot poenitz at nokia dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

The following code results in gdb using the
'int *' overload instead of the 'void *' one
when used with a 'char *' argument.


#include <iostream>

int foo(void *p) { std::cerr << "UNKNOWN " << std::endl; } 
int foo(int *p) { std::cerr << "INT: " << *p << std::endl; }

struct S {};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int a = 1;
    S b;
    char c = 1;
    double d = 1;
    return a + c;
}

/* 

Breakpoint 1, main () at main.cpp:19
19          int a = 1;
(gdb) call foo(&a)
INT: -1081818280
$6 = 134520896
(gdb) call foo(&b)
UNKNOWN 
$7 = 134520896
(gdb) call foo(&c)
INT: 141559812
$8 = 134520896
(gdb) call foo(&d)
UNKNOWN 
$9 = 134520896
(gdb)
