The C++ standard lists the contexts in which an overloaded function name can be
used without arguments, and reinterpret_cast is not one of them.
Based on that, I would think G++ 4.4 was correct to reject the code. I note
that clang++ gives the same behaviour as G++ 4.7 (accepts the code but does not
instantiate the function template)
You can make it work by using an explicit type conversion to the correct type
before doing the reinterpret_cast:
void *(*my_function_ptr)(void*, void *)
= reinterpret_cast<void*(*)(void*,void*)>(
(void*(*)(float*,float*))&(value_convert_function<float, float>) );
