I am unable to compile the following simple C++ program which uses a
simple template function.  I discovered the problem in another
program and wrote this simpler one to demonstrate the problem.  The
program is followed by the compiler output.  I don't have a copy of
the ANSI draft, so I may have done something illegal.  Previous
version of GCC seemed to handle this okay.

// This may look like C code, but it is really -*- C++ -*-

#include<iostream.h>

template<class DataType>
void swap(DataType d1, DataType d2){
  DataType temp;
  temp = d1;
  d1 = d2;
  d2 = temp;
}

main(){
  int i1,i2;
  double d1,d2;
  i1 = 0;
  i2 = 4;
  d1 = 3.14;
  d2 = 1.42;
  cout << "i1 = " << i1 << ", i2 = " << i2 << '\n';
  cout << "d1 = " << d1 << ", d2 = " << d2 << '\n';
  swap(i1,i2);
  swap(d1,d2);
  cout << "i1 = " << i1 << ", i2 = " << i2 << '\n';
  cout << "d1 = " << d1 << ", d2 = " << d2 << '\n';
}
