The code:
void grab(int& i);
int main(void)
{ grab(1); }
Produces the useful and informative error:
invalid initialization of non-const reference of type int& from a temporary
of type int
Whereas the code:
template<typename T>
void grab(T t, int& i);
int main(void)
{ grab(1,1); }
Produces the much less useful
"no matching function for call to grab(int, int)"
Would it be possible to still get the error message about temporaries in the
templated case?
