[Bug c++/21413] diagnostic for instantiation should also reference the function which it is where the instantiation happens

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #5 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2006-10-21 20:36 -------
My reduced testcase, you get the following error:
t.cc: In instantiation of ‘a<float>’:
t.cc:11:   instantiated from here
t.cc:3: error: ‘float’ is not a class, struct, or union type


I don't see how this is the incorrect diagnostic for this case.
Maybe it should reference line 7 but that is asking for an improvement.
