llvm dev - Aug 2013 - [LLVMdev] Clang (3.1 and 3.2): __attribute__((overloadable)) and enum types.

Hello,

I was trying to use  __attribute__((overloadable)) for functions accepting
enumerated types but hadn't succeeded so far.
Clang 3.1 and 3.2 failed to compile the following example.
/* clang -x c foo.cpp */
typedef enum __One {DUMMY_1} One;
typedef enum {DUMMY_2} Two;
enum Three {DUMMY_3};

__attribute__((overloadable)) void foo(One);
__attribute__((overloadable)) void foo(Two);
__attribute__((overloadable)) void foo(enum Three);
int main()
{
  foo(DUMMY_1);
  return 0;
}
Providing me with the following error message:
$ clang -x c foo.cpp
foo.cpp:22:3: error: call to 'foo' is ambiguous
  foo(DUMMY_1);
  ^~~
foo.cpp:16:36: note: candidate function
__attribute__((overloadable)) void foo(One);
                                   ^
foo.cpp:17:36: note: candidate function
__attribute__((overloadable)) void foo(Two);
                                   ^
foo.cpp:18:36: note: candidate function
__attribute__((overloadable)) void foo(enum Three);
                                   ^
1 error generated.
While with "-x c++" both versions of Clang compiled it successfully
(failed to link though).

According to
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#function-overloading-in-c
overloadable attribute is an analogue for C++ function overloading in C.
So, is it a bug in the Clang or I didn't understand/consider something?

BR,
Andrey Lizunov
