Overloaded function selection rules

C++

[1] no or unavoidable conversions -- $array->pointer$ , $T -> const T$
[2] integral promotion -- $char->int$ , $short->int$ , $float->double$
[3] standard conversions -- $int->double$ , $double->int$ , $derived* -> base*$
[4] user-defined conversions -- constructors and operators
[5] ellipsis in function declaration -- ...

Multiple arguments -- intersect rule

better match for at least one argument and at least as good a match for every other argument
