Introduce _Complex conversions into the function overloading
system. Since C99 doesn't have overloading and C++ doesn't have _Complex, there is no specification for this. Here's what I think makes sense. Complex conversions come in several flavors: - Complex promotions: a complex -> complex conversion where the underlying real-type conversion is a floating-point promotion. GCC seems to call this a promotion, EDG does something else. This is given "promotion" rank for determining the best viable function. - Complex conversions: a complex -> complex conversion that is not a complex promotion. This is given "conversion" rank for determining the best viable function. - Complex-real conversions: a real -> complex or complex -> real conversion. This is given "conversion" rank for determining the best viable function. These rules are the same for C99 (when using the "overloadable" attribute) and C++. However, there is one difference in the handling of floating-point promotions: in C99, float -> long double and double -> long double are considered promotions (so we give them "promotion" rank), while C++ considers these conversions ("conversion" rank). llvm-svn: 64343
