It's not a big per se. It's a consequence of the declaration
expanding to the real template function form (I can't type it
all out as I'm on my phone), thus the inner `val` from the
function shadows the one from the template.
That makes sense. Before creating the example, I would have
assumed that when you instantiate it as foo!1, then the `val=1`
would flow through to the inner foo function.
template foo(int val)
{
int foo(int val)
{
return val;
}
}
If you want that, you might be able to do `int val = val` on the
inner function, though I'm not sure that'll work.
