SYMPTOMS
========
When a function template is defined without one of the types in the template
parameter list in its function argument list, the Visual C++ compiler issues the
following error:
fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
(compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 1090)
RESOLUTION
==========
The argument list of a function template needs at least one argument using a
type specified in the template parameter list. This is a requirement of the
Visual C++ language.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ version 5.0.
MORE INFORMATION

Sample Code
-----------
/* Compile options needed: none

template <class T> T* func(int p) { return 0; }
void main(){
myclass *x = func(0);
