From: Billy
To: Ruben Safir
Subject: Re: [mrbrklyn-at-panix.com: Template Argument type deterination]

You didn't provide the constructor of stats::Distribution. If a constructor
takes a single argument, it will be considered a conversion operator unless
it is marked 'explicit'. Most style guides including Google's urge
programmers to mark any single argument constructor as 'explicit', which
make it ineligible as a conversion operator.

Another thing is that maybe an integer is being used as a pointer or
something.
I can't really tell exactly through the levels of indirection.

I'm uneasy because I don't see a single-arg constructor in the 'gdb' ptype
output.
But that isn't source code, that's gdb output. Only source code matters.
The constructor might have been inlined and optimized away, for example.
