A bug report.

[Andrei G. Basov]

The attached program gives me the following when compiled as

g++ -Wall -o t ptof.c++ 
ptof.c++: In function `void sort<int>()':
ptof.c++:17: Internal compiler error 40.
ptof.c++:17: Please submit a full bug report to `egcs-bugs@cygnus.com'.

The output of g++ -v is

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1/egcs-2.90.29/specs
gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)

[Comment: the basic problem is with the passing of pointer to a template
function without the explicit specification. See the source]

If this was already fixed - I apologize.

Good luck,
