VC 2005 died on template (part I)

[Alex]

template <int i> struct Factorial {
enum { N = i<=0? 1 : i*Factorial<i-1>::N };
};
template <> struct Factorial <-500> { enum { N = 1 }; };
const int factorial=Factorial<5>::N;

 

[Jens Thoms Toerring]

template <int i> struct Factorial {
enum { N = i<=0? 1 : i*Factorial<i-1>::N };
};
template <> struct Factorial <-500> { enum { N = 1 }; };
const int factorial=Factorial<5>::N;

If you want to discuss C++ you should post to comp.lang.c++ and
not comp.lang.c (which is for C, a different language). And if
your compiler is broken then you probably best talk to whoever
produced it since then it's not a laguage issue but a quality
of implementation issue.

template <int i> struct Factorial {

You want comp.lang.c++, down the hallway, second door to the right.
