Bug in pointer casting

[Gilbert Ramirez]

I am using egcs-2.91.66 on Linux 2.2.5, on a PII machine. (Stock RedHat
6.0 installation)

In compiling some code, I have encountered an "internal compiler error"
when casting a void pointer to a pointer to a function taking one
argument and returning void. This happens inside a template class.

I have created a small test file isolating just that one bug.

I invoked egcs via 'egcs -c test.cpp'. The test.cpp file is copied here.
The error is reported for the line with the comment.

------------------------------------------------------
template<class T>
class cb {
	public:
		cb(void*, T);

	void 	*ptr;
	T	val;

	void	operator()(void);
};

template<class T>
cb<T>::cb(void *f, T a)
{
	ptr = f;
	val = a;
}

template<class T>
void cb<T>::operator()(void)
{
	void (*callback)(T) = (void (*)(T)) ptr; /* <-------- */
	callback(val);
}

template cb<int>;
------------------------------------------------------

When invoking egcs with '-v', I get this:
