g++ junk.c -c junk.b
version 2.2.2

PROBLEM 1
=========

template < char * b >
class C {
     char * B;
   public:
   C( );
};

template < char * b > C<b>::C( ) {
  B = b;
  printf( "%s\n", b );
}

void test( ) {

  C<"wewe"> bar;

}

PROBLEM 2 - attempt to bipass/correct passing of ptr to string
=========

template < char * b >
class C {
     char * B;
   public:
   C( );
};

template < char * b > C<b>::C( ) {
  B = b;
  printf( "%s\n", b );
}

void test( ) {

  const char *foobar = "FooBar";
  C<foobar> bar;

}

---------------------------
junk.c: In function `void  test ()':
junk.c:17: warning: initialization of non-`const *' pointer from `const *'
junk.c:17: invalid pointer constant for template parameter
junk.c:17: please fix above error, and try recompiling.

removing the 'const' still results with the 'invalid pointer' error
