    It is a little tougher when neither of us can define the problem.

I don't want query gold to return a static number, but a

Consider...

//
// $Log: FooFoo.cpp,v $
// Revision 1.2  1999-12-25 09:26:23-10  brian_macbride
// 2nd try...
//
// Revision 1.1  1999-12-25 09:19:52-10  brian_macbride
// 1st try...
//

template <class T>
int query_gold (const T &f) {
  return f.la;
};

struct foo {
  int la;
  int pe;
  foo () : la (2) {}
};

struct foo2 {
  int la;
  int pe;
  foo2 () : la (3) {}
};

#include <iostream.h>

int main () {
  cout << query_gold (foo ()) << endl;
  cout << query_gold (foo2 ()) << endl;
 return 0;
}

/*
Yields...
2
3
*/
