The following: $ cat t.cpp template< typename T > int baz (T const*) { return 0; }
template <class T> void bar(T* ptr) { baz (*ptr); } int baz (int const&) { return 0; } void foo () { int const n = 0; bar (&n); } fails to compile with gcc 4.2.0: $ g++ -v; g++ -c t.cpp Using built-in specs. Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: ../gcc-4.2.0/configure --prefix=/opt/compilers/gcc-4.2.0 --enable-threads --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++ Thread model: posix gcc version 4.2.0 t.cpp: In function 'void bar(T*) [with T = const int]': t.cpp:25: instantiated from here t.cpp:12: error: no matching function for call to 'baz(const int&)' Moving "int baz (int const&)" to top, or removing top function template avoids the error. It is possible that this issue may be somehow related to the issue reported in the bug report 31816.
