object ptr as template parameter

[Michael D. Berger & Rosalie A. Clavez]

Using gcc 2.95.3-5(in Cygwin), I would have expected the following attempt to
pass a class pointer through a template parameter to work.  It fails,
as indicated below.  Anyone know why?

Thanks for your advice,
Mike.

In external space:

MyAlloc myAlloc;

main()
{
        ArrayAllocBridge<int,MyAlloc,&myAlloc>          bridge;
}

In another included file:

template<class TYP,class ALLOC,ALLOC* ALC=0>
class ArrayAllocBridge
{
public:
        ArrayAllocBridge();
...
private:
        ALLOC*  allocator_;
...
};

template<class TYP,class ALLOC,ALLOC* ALC>
ArrayAllocBridge<TYP,ALLOC,ALLOC*>::
ArrayAllocBridge()
{
        allocator_ = ALC;
}

Here is the diagnostic:

ArrayAlloc.ii:215: type/value mismatch at argument 3 in template parameter
list for `template <class TYP, class ALLOC, ALLOC * ALC = 0>
ArrayAllocBridge<TYP,ALLOC,ALC>'
../MdbUtil/ArrayAlloc.ii:215:   expected a constant of type `ALLOC *',
got `ALLOC *'
