>Description:
Don't look at the usefullness of the code, its wrong anyway.
But the compiler can not report the mistake here.
bug.cc:10: Internal error #243.
bug.cc:10: confused by earlier errors, bailing out

(the mistake is of course in line 20/21.)
>How-To-Repeat:
gcc bug.cc
>Fix:
not a fix, but a workaround (problem may be to find the place where you made a mistake in the code you compile)
- by correct use of template function (see comment in file), then it reports a normal compiler error
- not using an array reference/pointer as parameter of the function definition produces also a normal compiler error
