Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.3 20080114 (prerelease) (Debian 4.2.2-7)


The error:
schroed2.cpp: In function ‘void blas_scal(typename ref<R>::result,
complex<T>*) [with T = double]’:
schroed2.cpp:16: error: cannot convert ‘complex<double>’ to ‘double’
for argument ‘1’ to ‘void cblas_zdscal(double, void*)’


The code:
template <typename T> struct complex { T re; T im; };

template <typename R> struct ref { typedef const R& result; };
template <> struct ref<double> { typedef double result; };
template <> struct ref<complex<double> > { typedef complex<double> result; };

void cblas_dscal(double alpha, double *x) { }
void cblas_zscal(void *alpha, void *x) { }
void cblas_zdscal(double alpha, void *x) { }

template <typename T> void blas_scal(typename ref<T>::result alpha, T* x);
template <typename T> void blas_scal(typename ref<T>::result alpha, complex<T>*
x);

template <> void blas_scal(double alpha, double* x) { cblas_dscal(alpha, x); }
template <> void blas_scal(complex<double> alpha, complex<double>* x) {
complex<double> cblas_alpha = alpha; cblas_zscal(&cblas_alpha, x); }
template <> void blas_scal(double alpha, complex<double>* x) {
cblas_zdscal(alpha, x); } // line 16 is here

int main() {
  return 0;
}


The ref-struct allows to use pass-by-reference for big datatypes, pass-by-value
for small ones. If I replace this struct in the template declaration for
blas_scal by T, everything works as expected. For T = double, the last
specialization is imho valid for the second template declaration - I don't even
know what gcc wants from me, since the parameters are exactly what is needed.
