I'm using g++ 1.35 on a vax. I extracted the following file from libg++'s "compare.h": -------------------------------------------------- // This should work but doesn't. inline int compare(int a, int b) { return a - b; } inline int compare(float a, float b) { float x = a - b; return (x > 0.0 ? 1 : (x < 0.0 ? -1 : 0)); } -------------------------------------------------- Attempting to compile this produced the error message: In function int compare (float, float): bug2.cc:9: conflicting types for `int compare (float, float)' I then backed off to just declarations: -------------------------------------------------- // This should *really* work but doesn't. int compare(int a, int b); int compare(float a, float b); -------------------------------------------------- Result: bug2b.cc:4: conflicting types for `int compare (float, float)' -- Dave
