>Description:
[ Reported to the Debian BTS as report #103980.

]
SFS (secure file system) fails to compile with gcc 3.0, and it was
tracked down to this example code that reproduces the error:
-------------
class aios {
friend class aiosout;
public:
aios ();
~aios ();
};
class aiosout {
aiosout (const aiosout &o);
aiosout &operator= (const aiosout &);
public:
aiosout (aios &a) {}
~aiosout () {}
};
template<class T> inline const aiosout&
operator<< (const aiosout &o, const T &a)
{
return o;
}
void fault(void)
{
aios a;
// normally a C++ compiler should resolve the following like this:
// tmp = aiosout(a)
// operator<< (tmp, 10);
// apparently, g++ 3.0 tries to do something like this:
// tmp1 = aiosout(a)
// tmp2 = aiosout(tmp1) <== copy constructor (unusable!)
// operator<< (tmp2, 10);
// which is wasteful even when it works... maybe now we know why
a << 10;
}
