a compiation issue with gcc

[Peter Doerfler]

Hi Damanjit.

As far as I understand there is some confusion with pointers to member 
functions esp. if they are static depending on the compiler.

I managed to get your code compiled by removing the & in 
>         typedef B<T,&ASFreeWrapper> Type;
Can't recall which is correct but I think the version without &.

and of course including malloc.h for free().

This is with gcc4.0.1 on a x86 system.
On my gentoo version of gcc3.4.3 I get an ICE, but I guess that is a known 
issue. Does anybody know?

If you are interested: I found 
http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/FastDelegate.asp
an informative read. Goes into detail what the standard says about member 
function pointers and what different compilers actually implement.

Hope this helps
- Peter
