Package: gcc-3.4 Version: 3.4.1-7 Severity: normal Gcc 3.3 and gcc 3.4 both give the error message "error: `type' is not a member of `outer<dummy>::inner<dummy<int> >'" when trying to compile the following:
template<typename dummy_var> struct dummy { }; template<template<typename> class outer_func> struct outer { template<typename inner_var> struct inner { }; template<typename dummy_var> struct inner<outer_func<dummy_var> > { typedef dummy_var type; }; }; int main(){ outer<dummy>::inner<dummy<int> >::type var = 0; return var; } Both cxx (Digital's compiler) and icc (Intel's compiler) have no such problem. It appears that gcc does not properly match against the specialized inner struct in this case (i.e. it fails to match when the specialized parameter is based on a template template parameter of an enclosing struct). -T PS: Note that the following version (which contains an even more explicit specialization) also does not work with gcc (and also does work with both cxx and icc): template<template<typename> class outer_func> struct outer { template<typename inner_var, typename dummy=void> struct inner { }; template<typename dummy> struct inner<outer_func<int>,dummy> { typedef int type; }; }; -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: alpha Kernel: Linux 2.6.6 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages gcc-3.4 depends on: ii binutils 2.15-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpp-3.4 3.4.1-7 The GNU C preprocessor ii gcc-3.4-base 3.4.1-7 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6.1 2.3.2.ds1-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.1-7 GCC support library -- no debconf information
