Your code looks OK to me, and g++ is fine with that too. This seems to be weird overload resolution bug in Visual Studio. VS2005 seems to have the same problem.
A possible workaround is (tested with VS2005).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
