MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. In Visual C++ .NET, create a new console application. To do this, open the New Project Wizard and then select Win32 application. In Application Settings, select Console application.
2. Open the Projectname.cpp file of the project, and then add the following code:

   #include "stdafx.h"
   
   class class1{};
   class class2{};
   
   int func1(class1 *x){return 1;}
   int func1(class2 *x){return 2;}
   
   int func2(class1 *x){return 3;}
   
   int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
   {
   	class1 *x = new class1();
   	class2 *y = new class2();
   
   	func1(x);		// doesn't work
   	func1(y);		// doesn't work
   
   	func2(x);		// works
   
   	return 0;
   }
   					

3. Build the application.
4. Set a breakpoint on the last statement ("return 0").
5. To start the debugger, press F5. The debugger stops at the breakpoint.
6. In the watch window, type func1(x) Result: You receive the error message in the "Symptoms" section of this article. If you type func2(x) you see that the appropriate value is displayed.
