SYMPTOMS
========
When the left parenthesis ')' is missing from the sample code listed below,
which uses template, the Microsoft Visual C++ version 2.x build process will not
return. However, you can choose Stop Build from the Project menu to cause the
process to terminate with the following messages:
cl.exe terminated at user request.
Tool execution cancelled by user.
Test.obj - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, add back the missing parenthesis.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the products listed at the beginning
of this article. This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition,
version 4.0.
