#include <iostream>

void f () {}
void g (void (*)()) { std::cout << " void (*)()" << std::endl; }
void g (void (&)()) { std::cout << " void (&)()" << std::endl; }

int main ()
  {
    g (f);
  }


my compiler (BCB4) selects the pointer-to-function version of f().

Is this the correct (defined) behavior ?

It should report an ambiguity error since both candidate functions 'g'
are equally viable.
