Templates and const function name resolution

Hello,

I have the following class C and the function F:

class C
{
public:
   const vector<int>& GetV() const { return m_v; }
private:
   vector<int>& GetV() { return m_v; }
   vector<int> m_v;
};

template<class T1, class T2>
void F(const typename vector<T1>::iterator& first,
         const typename vector<T1>::iterator& last)
{
   for (vector<T1>::iterator it = first; it != last; ++it)
   {
      const vector<T2>& v = it->GetV();
   }
}

I am trying to call F as:

....
vector<C> v;
F<C, int>(v.begin(), v.end());
....

But this does not compile (with MS VC++ 7) - the compiler refuses to
find the public GetV() function, instead it finds the private one.

However, if I replace
const vector<T2>& v = it->GetV();
with
const vector<T2>& v = vector<T1>::const_iterator(it)->GetV();

the code compiles.

I am wondering why the code as presented above does not compile and how
can I make it compile without introducing const iterator?

Thanks,

Dimitar
