Hi,

According to the C++ standard (6.4 Selection statements [stmt.select]) "the value of a condition that is an expression is the value of the expression, implicitly converted to bool for statements other than switch". But it seems that DM uses the value of the expression implicitly converted to int (the following test-case prints "false"):

  #include <stdio.h>

  struct A
  {
    inline operator int()
    {
      return 0;
    }

    inline operator bool()
    {
      return true;
    }
  };


  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    A a;

    if (a)
    {
      printf("true\n");
      return 0;
    }
    else
    {
      printf("false\n");
      return 1;
    }
  }


bye, Christof
