Code that is problematic follows.
>>> snip
#include <string>
template<typename T>
inline void
do_call(int (*fn)(T),
const char* msg,
T t1)
{
int err;
if ((err = fn(t1)) < 0){
throw std::string(msg);
}
}
int
fn(int* a)
{
return (a ? 1 : -1);
}
int main(int argc ,char** argv)
{
int j;
do_call(fn, "hello", &j);
do_call(fn, "hello", 0);
do_call(fn, "hello", static_cast<int*>(0));
}
>>> end snip
The problem seems to be that recent gcc's dont compile the second do_call
because
they interpret 0 as being of type int. I have no idea whether c++ should be able
to do this, but it seems to me that gcc could find the right code to generate.
static_casting to int of course solves the problem.
