why this testcase compile failed for gcc.

/* ------- test case -------------------*/
void x();
template <typename T>
void foo(const T*);

int main() {
   foo(x);
}

GCC 4.5 complains:

a.cpp: In function 'int main()':
a.cpp:6: error: no matching function for call to 'foo(void (&)())'

It seems that, const T * is resolved as void (&)());

IMO, T --> void (), const T --> void (), const T * --> void (*)(), and
it should be leagle.

Thanks
