Re: Ambiguous call

There is a function template in the std namespace. And a function with the
same name is defined in a program. Is it correct that the compiler issues an
error about ambiguous call then the function is called without std:: prefix?

For example

#include <functional>

template <typename InputIterator, typename T>
inline const T accumulate( Input Iterator first, InputIterator last, const T
&val )
{
    T result = val;

    for ( ; first != last; ++first )
    {
        result = result + *first;
    }

    return ( result );
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

{
    std::vector<int> vi;
    ...
    int sum = accumulate( vi.begin(), vi.end(), 0 ); // <== here is the
error
    ...
    return 0;
}
