Comments
SUGGESTED FIX As Tom Rodriguez points out, the smallest fix is to actually declare operator==(intptr_t) and operator!=(intptr_t) so that it is directly applicable, and hence most viable, and so removes the ambiguity.
05-04-2007
EVALUATION The base CC 5.8 doesn't correctly detect ambiguities when resolving the appropriate overloaded operator to invoke. This was fixed via CR 6251919 and was first patched by 121018-03. In the debug build oop is a class rather than a typedef for a simple pointer type. As a result various conversion operators and cast operators are needed. The main ambuiguity arises where an oop is compared against NULL (which is defined as 0 - zero). The problem arises because oop defines a cast operator for intptr_t which is basically a cast to int - and this allows an oop and zero to be compared directly. However, oop also defines operator!=(void*) and operator==(void*), and there is an automatic conversion from zero to void*. So, for example, the compiler has a choice between doing: a) oop -> int, then use the built-in operator!=(int, int); or b) 0 -> void*, then use the overloaded operator(!=(void*) As the number of conversions is the same, neither of these choices results in a more viable method when performing resolution and so the call is ambiguous and the compiler rejects it.

SUGGESTED FIX The smallest fix is to remove the cast operator for intprt_t so that there is no conversion from oop to int/long. In the cases where that conversion is needed we must explicitly perform the conversion the old operator used to do, which is to first cast the oop to oopDesc*, so (intptr_t) someOop becomes (intptr_t)(oopDesc*)someOop Other ambiguities can be resolved using casts directly. In places we end up with ugly triple casts.
