Hi, folks, long time no see.  I'm just wondering if the standard
actually disallows some code of mine containing overloaded function
templates.  Fortunately (for my code, bad for me) I think this is just
another VC++ 4 bug wrt templates.  Oh well, at least VC++ has improved
to the point that it handles *most* of the stuff I wrote three years
ago under BC++ 3.1.

cl -c bug2.cpp
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 10.00.5270 for 80x86
bug2.cpp(16) : error C2668: 'functor' : ambiguous call to overloaded function
(new behavior; please see help)

   template<class O, class R>
void functor(O* object, R (O::*method)());

   template<class O, class R, class P>
void functor(O* object, R (O::*method)(P));

class M {
public:
    int f( char* );
    int g( );
};

int main() {
    M m;
    functor(&m, &M::f);
    functor(&m, &M::g);  // VC++ 4 incorrectly flags this as ambiguous
    return 0;
}
