compiler error 980715

[Thomas Matelich]

I was messing around with implicit_cast (C++ Programming Language,
13.3.2) and got this error.  I worked around it with copy and a warning,
but it said to send a message.

I am using the 1.1 release.

Here is the boiled down offending source code:

     #include <iostream.h>
     #include <vector>

     template < class T, class U > T implicit_cast(const U& u) { return
     u; }

     int main()
     {
        vector<double> source(20);
        for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
           source[i] = 2*i/3;

        vector<short> dest(20);

        transform(source.begin(), source.end(), dest.begin(),
                  implicit_cast<short, double>);

        return 0;
     }

And the result:
