        <pre>For the following code, clang++ could compile with -std=c++11, and give the
following output which is incorrect.


#include <iostream>
struct B
{
};

struct C
{
  C (){ std::cout << "C" << '\n'; }
  C (B *) { std::cout << "C (B *)" << '\n';}
};

B *y = nullptr;
int main()
{
  C::C (y);
}

output:

$ clang++  sfo.cpp -std=c++11
$ ./a.out
C

While g++ give an meaningful error message. 

$ g++  sfo.cpp -std=c++11
sfo.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
sfo.cpp:34:10: error: cannot call constructor ‘C::C’ directly [-fpermissive]
   C::C (y);
          ^
sfo.cpp:34:10: note: for a function-style cast, remove the redundant ‘::C’
