<P>[Voted into WP at April, 2006 meeting.]</P>

<P>The example in 13.9.2 [<A href="https://wg21.link/temp.inst#4">temp.inst</A>] paragraph 4 has a
typographical error: the third parameter of function <TT>g</TT>
should be <TT>D&lt;double&gt;* ppp</TT>, but it is missing the
<TT>*</TT>:</P>

<PRE>
  template &lt;class T&gt; class B { /* ... */ };
  template &lt;class T&gt; class D : public B&lt;T&gt; { /* ... */ };
  void f(void*);
  void f(B&lt;int &gt;*);

  void g(D&lt;int&gt;* p, D&lt;char&gt;* pp, D&lt;double&gt; ppp)
  {
    f(p);             //<SPAN CLASS="cmnt"> instantiation of </SPAN>D&lt;int&gt;<SPAN CLASS="cmnt"> required: call </SPAN>f(B&lt;int&gt;*)

    B&lt;char&gt;* q = pp;  //<SPAN CLASS="cmnt"> instantiation of </SPAN>D&lt;char&gt;<SPAN CLASS="cmnt"> required:</SPAN>
                      //<SPAN CLASS="cmnt"> convert </SPAN>D&lt;char&gt;*<SPAN CLASS="cmnt"> to </SPAN>B&lt;char&gt;*
    delete ppp;       //<SPAN CLASS="cmnt"> instantiation of </SPAN>D&lt;double&gt;<SPAN CLASS="cmnt"> required</SPAN>
  }
</PRE>

<P><B>Proposed resolution (October, 2005):</B></P>

<P>As suggested.</P>
