It looks like an error in template argument deduction. You should
confirm that explicitly specifying the template argument works, then
post a bug report on Microsoft Connect.
I can confirm that this is an error in template argument deduction.
call<void(*)(int)> (foo);
Compiles successfully.
I posted the bug on Microsoft Connect and just a few hour later the
status of the bug became Resolved(Won't Fix) without any note.
This is the last time I spend my time to help Microsoft finding bugs!
I hate when bugs get closed as "won't fix" with no explanation. One thing
to keep in mind though, "won't fix", at this point in time, means "won't fix
in Orcas". Once a major wave is released, they generally make a pass
through the bug database and re-open bugs that they would have liked to fix
but couldn't. A difficulty for the C++ team is that the C++ compiler is
used to build the entire product (visual studio, that is), so they have to
stop taking changes in the compiler many months before the final ship date
to ensure that the product is being built on a stable compiler.
It's frustrating, yes, but not as hopeless as it might at first seem.
