Hi,

I switched to MSVC Express edition now and am having problems with Templates.

For example using the SDK Pow() Template, the compiler always gives me an error that there might be similar conversions.

For functions I can workaround this using explicit operator calls, but for this? How can this be workarounded or fixed?

Thanks in advance!

Compiler Error code:
\res\noise_functions.h(1339) : error C2666: 'Pow' : 2 overloads have similar conversions
        d:\programme\maxon\9.509\resource\_api\ge_win_math.h(155) : could be 'LReal Pow(LReal,LReal)'
        d:\programme\maxon\9.509\resource\_api\ge_win_math.h(138) : or 'Real Pow(Real,Real)'
        while trying to match the argument list '(double, float)'

ok, an explicit cast fixes the problem here too.

Also note that if you write a constant the type is decided by a suffix. So 2.0 is a double (LReal) and 2.0f is a float (Real).
