------- Additional Comments From bangerth at dealii dot org 2005-07-25 15:21 ------- This basically boils down to this question: --------------------- template <class> struct S { typedef int type; }; template <class T> int foo(T, typename S<T>::type * ret); int j = foo(1, 0); ---------------------- icc accepts this, gcc doesn't. I believe it should. The question is whether the second of the arguments, of type int, should be converted to the expected int*. During template deduction, no conversions are performed. I.e. if we had declared foo as foo(T,T*), then we should reject the call. However, the template type T is used in a non-deductible context in the second argument of foo, so the type of T should be deduced only based on the first argument, to type int then. W.
