Conversion function error

[Chris]

I have a template class called Image and I want to make a
conversion function to that I can easily convert one
template type to another. I tried making functions for a
couple specific cases, but I get an error that says it
will cause a stack overflow. I don't think my function
should do that, so maybe I did something wrong. Here is
the function in question (I have it defined in the class
declaration in the header file).

operator Image<float>()
{
Image<float> newImage(*this, false);
Image<float>::i terator iterNew = newImage.begin( );
for(iterator iter = begin(); !iter.end(); ++iter,
++iterNew) {
*iterNew = float(*iter); }
return newImage;
}


Here is the exact error:

image.h(78) : warning
C4717: 'ImageNS::Image <double>::opera tor
ImageNS::Image< float>' : recursive on all control paths,
function will cause runtime stack overflow



I'm pretty sure this function is not recursive, it
shoudldn't be. Is this my fault or a problem with visual
studio .net 2003?

Thanks,
Chris
