-
- // maximum of three values of any type (call-by-reference)
- template <typename T>
- inline T const& max (T const& a, T const& b, T const& c){
- return max (max(a,b), c); // error, if max(a,b) uses call-by-value
- }

- int main (){
- ::max(7, 42, 68); // OK
-
- const char* s1 = "frederic";
- const char* s2 = "anica";
- const char* s3 = "lucas";
- ::max(s1, s2, s3) // ERROR
