egcs-971225 G++ bug report

[Michael A. Benzinger]

Hi David,

I just read over the page in Stroustrup's book.  His example has
an ampersand (&) to take the address of the member function.  The
example you posted does not.  Could this be the problem?  Does C++
now require the & to take the address of a function?  Is this only
required for member functions?

His example also did not have const in the type definition but I
don't know if that makes any difference.
