C++ bug (references)

[Sam Lantinga <slouken at devolution dot com>]

Using egcs 1.1.1 stock, the following code produces unexpected output:

#include <stdio.h>

func(int &val)
{
    val = 3;
}

main()
{
    int val = 0;

    func((int)val);
    printf("Val is %d\n", val);
}

---
The output is 0, where I would expect it to be 3, and under other compilers
(VC++) it is 3.

The warning during compile is:
t3.cc: In function `int main()':
t3.cc:13: warning: initialization of non-const reference `int &' from rvalue `int'
t3.cc:5: warning: in passing argument 1 of `func(int &)'

Why is it creating a temporary variable in the cast of int?

See ya!
