The following file fails compilation when using G++ 1.35.0- on a Sun3.
This same file passes compilation (without errors or warnings) when
using g++ 1.34.1.  I believe that it is legal code and should pass.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Check that if explicit conversion (to a base type) is used,
// the compiler can still find a proper (implicitly generated)
// initialization member function to apply to the converted value.

struct base {
	int base_member;

	base () {}
	//base (const base& br) { *this = br; }		// This makes it work.
};

struct derived : public base {
	int derived_member;
};

base base_object;

int main ()
{
	derived derived_object;

	base_object = (base) derived_object;
	return 0;
}
