Bug#391334: error: no matching function for call

[Glenn Maynard]

Package: g++-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-15
Severity: normal

With attached code,

t.cc: In member function ‘void ThemeMetric<T>::Read() [with T = GoalType]’:
t.cc:32:   instantiated from here
t.cc:22: error: no matching function for call to ‘FromStack(GoalType&)’
t.cc:3: note: candidates are: void LuaHelpers::FromStack(bool&)
t.cc:4: note:                 void LuaHelpers::FromStack(float&)
t.cc:5: note:                 void LuaHelpers::FromStack(int&)

This happens on 3.4 through 4.1.  This error goes away if

 - LuaHelpers::FromStack(GoalType&) is declared above the template,
 - FromStack is removed from the namespace, or "using namespace LuaHelpers"
 - "using namespace LuaHelpers" is used and FromStack is used without
   LuaHelpers:: qualifier (3.4 through 4.0, not 4.1);
 - ThemeMetric<T>::Read() is not virtual;
 - FromStack is a template and each type is a specialization

If this code isn't valid, I'm not seeing why, or why Read being virtual
or FromStack being in a namespace would affect it.
