possibly a bug in g++

[Alexei Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@scnsoft.com>]

Hello there.

Seems like I've discovered a bug in g++-3.0 (or, at least, g++-2.95).

The following code is rejected by g++-3.0:
====================================
template <class TFunc>
void tpl_func (const TFunc& func)
{
        return;
}

static bool compare_ints (int a, int b)
{
        return (a < b);
}

void trigger_the_bug ()
{
        tpl_func (compare_ints);
}
====================================
$g++-2.95 -c error.cpp
(no messages, successfull compilation)
$g++-3.0 -c error.cpp
error.cpp: In function `void trigger_the_bug()':
error.cpp:14: no matching function for call to `tpl_func(bool (&)(int, int))'

If replace "tpl_func (compare_ints)" by "tpl_func (&compare_ints)", compilation
succeeds. AFAIK, function name is a name of pointer to it as well, so g++-3.0
has a bug. I use g++ version 3.0.2. This example also compiles unsuccessfully on
another (not mine) machine with SuSE Linux and g++ 3.0.2 release built from
sources, so this bug(?) is not debian-specific.

Here are versions of my g++ - related packages:

Please answer somebody wether it is a bug and wether I should submit it to
GNATS.

Alexei.


PS.
Every g++ problem I face with is template-related. Ugh!
