Dear fellows!

If I call a member function by means of a pointer like
...
class Mammal...
class Horse : public Mammal...
...
Mammal * ptr=0;
ptr= new Horse;
void (Mammal::*pFunc)() const=0;
pFunc=Mammal::Speak;
(ptr->*pFunc)();
...
DJGPP returns a strange error message: "Assuming & on Mammal::Speak". As far
as I know the code is completely correct and so it looks like a lack of
intelligence of the compiler, doesn't it?

Yours sincerely
Ortwin
