So which C++ language features exactly make it not strongly typed?

I agree that the C++ programmer has to be careful, but here I'm
interested in the strong type safety aspect.
Which constructs violate the strong type safety in C++?

(Of course, I expect that such or analogous constructs do not exist in
Ada.)

Let's focus on recent C++ standard instead of early versions of C.
