The resolution ofissue 654 (foundin paper N2656) enabled conversion of rvalues of typestd::nullptr_t tobool. It appears that the usecases for this conversion are primarily or exclusively the“contextually converted tobool” cases, withsome possibility for inadvertent misuse in other contexts. PaperN2656 mentioned the idea of limiting the conversions to thedirect initialization contexts; that possibility should bereexamined.
Proposed resolution (February, 2012):
Change 7.3.14 [conv.fctptr] paragraph 1 as follows:
...any other value is converted totrue.AFor direct-initialization (9.5 [dcl.init]), aprvalue of typestd::nullptr_t can be converted to a prvalueof typebool; the resulting value isfalse.
