I tried to compile the following simple C++ program consisting of templates
using g++ (v2 preliminary) compiler manual page dated on 27 Dec 1991

#include <iostream.h>

template <class Type>
Type min (Type a, Type b) {
  return a < b ? a: b;
}

int 
main()
{
  cout << "The minum of 10 and 20 is = " << min(10, 20);
  cout << "The minimum of 10.0 and 20.0 is = " << min(10.0, 20.0);
  cout << "The minimum of 10.23f and 20.34f = " << min(10.23F, 20.34F);
  cout << "The minimum of 10.23L and 24.56L = " << min(10.23L, 24.56L);
  return 0;
}

and got the message:

as0: Error: test4.C, line 4: .ent must precede the definition of the symbol min
as0: Error: test4.C, line 4: Conflicting definition of symbol min
as0: Error: test4.C, line 4: .ent must precede the definition of the symbol min

Can you please let me know what is happening. Thanks.
