Accessing derived members of template classes doesn't seem to work properly:
template <class T> class Poly { protected: int value; }; template <class T> class Quad : public Poly<T> { public: int getVal() const { return value; } }; return value; will cause the following error: test.cpp: In member function 'int Quad<T>::getVal() const': test.cpp:10: error: 'value' was not declared in this scope using return this->value; or return Poly<t>::value; however works... -- Summary: scope bug in derived template classes Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: gcc at reactsoft dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27157
