Looks to me like you've tried to specialise a function template, and that is
not a valid thing to do in C++; not pre-C++05, anyway.

 Looks to me like you've tried to specialise a function template, and that is
 not a valid thing to do in C++; not pre-C++05, anyway.




GNU g++ 3.3.1, Microsoft C++ 13.00.9466, Borland C++ 5.5.1 have no problem with
that code.

Perhaps, there is any option in link.exe (OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release
7.50B1) which enables to compile/link the program in my
original message?
