#include <typeinfo>

typedef const char * (std::type_info::*func)() const;

int main()
{
  const std::type_info &ti = typeid(int);

  func f = &std::type_info::name;

  return 0;
}


In my opinion, this should compile with a standards compliant compiler, but DM complains:

  func f = &std::type_info::name;
                                ^
Error: need explicit cast to convert
from: char const *( std::type_info::*C func)()const
to  : char const *( std::type_info::*member func)()const
