c++ - bug? duplicate declaration?

The 'static' isn't in the example code??


 --- errorlevel 1



That's correct. After all, for:
    findAny();
how can the compiler tell which function to call?

I've been experiencing similar const confusions with DMC++ in STLSoft, in terms
of making a pointer-to-const const 
itself, i.e.

    template <typename C>
    C const *someFunc(C const *s1, C const *const s2, C delim);

DMC++ fails to find an instantiation of someFunc() unless s2 is changed to be
"C const*".
