I'm trying to create a template class that stores a function pointer to a template function, but ran into a compile error in Visual Studio 2008. I created a simplified test case for it(see below) which still fails to compile in VS2008, but appeared to compile successfully on the online Comeau and online GCC compilers I tried. The error I'm seeing is: error C2436: 'func' : member function or nested class in constructor initializer list temp.cpp(21) : while compiling class template member function 'test_class<T>::test_class(T (__cdecl &))' 1> with 1> [ 1> T=int (const int &) 1> ] The same test using a non-template function works. Short of that, does anyone know a workaround for the issue, or if VS2008 is expecting some kind of different syntax for this? Thanks, Jerry template<class T> T template_function(const T& arg) { return arg; } int non_template_function(const int& arg) { return arg; } template<class T> class test_class { public: test_class(const T& arg) : func(arg) {} private: T func; }; template<class T> void create_class(const T& arg) { new test_class<T>(arg); } int main() { create_class(&template_function<int>); //compile fails unless this is commented out create_class(&non_template_function); return 0; }
