Hi Sergey,
Primarily the name is resolved to the class-type, however in CPPSemantics.postResolution() an attempt is made to replace the class-type with a constructor where
this is feasible.
It looks like the check whether the replacement shall be made or not is incomplete. (this is done in method convertClassToContructor(IASTName)).
Note: By the c++ standard, ‘C(1)’ is actually an explicit type conversion in functional notation (5.2.3). In CDT we model it as a function call _expression_.
(By doing that we avoid performing an ambiguity resolution on each and every function call.)
Markus.

Subject: Ctor name in a ctor call _expression_ gets resolved to CPPClassType instead of CPPConstructor
I've noticed that a constructor name in a constructor call _expression_ gets resolved to CPPClassType instead of CPPConstructor. In the following code select "A" in "A(1)". Notice that "A" gets highlighted in the first and the fourth lines, but not in the second line (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=393084).
struct A {
A(int x);
};
A a = A(1);
This may seem like a minor annoyance, but it causes bug 393068.
Is it the expected behavior? If so, how to get the constructor being called?
