------- Comment #2 from pierhyth at gmail dot com 2005-11-09 01:33 ------- The current C++ standard says that Koenig applies "when an unqualified name is used as the postfix-expression in a function call" which from what I've read, must include the case of functoids/functors and references to functoids/functors.
It is true that some people seem to be arguing that the standard be changed to restrict Koenig to only functions, a view which seems to me rather unfortunate. However the fact remains that the current standard allows functors and the g++ compiler complies with this by allowing functors. The issue is that references to functors appear to be broken in the most recent versions of g++. I have written much code that relies on g++ finding references to functors through Koenig lookup. This code compiled fine with version 3.2. The problem only arose when I tried to update to the 4.0 compiler. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24702
