------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-09-30 05:12 ------- For the testcase in comment #2, on the mainline, we get a different error message:
t.cc:2: warning: friend declaration void foo(T*) declares a non-template function t.cc:2: warning: (if this is not what you intended, make sure the function template has already been declared and add <> after the function name here) -Wno-non-template-friend disables this warning t.cc: In function void bar() [with T = X<int>]: t.cc:10: instantiated from X<T>::X() [with T = X<int>] t.cc:13: instantiated from here t.cc:5: error: foo was not declared in this scope This seems better as friend don't intject the declation at all. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22363
