Bug ID: 61537 Summary: template parameter lists wrongly detected on "struct" or "class" keyword on parameters Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: alexander.adam at informatik dot tu-chemnitz.de Created attachment 32956 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=32956&action=edit sample code When I define a template method outside of its template class declaration, it cannot use the class or struct keyword on normal parameters. This worked up to gcc 4.8. If I remove the struct or class keyword, everything works fine again. I tried -std=c++98 without success. If I write the definition inside the class Base { ... }; it also works. When I try to compile the code (see attachment), I get the following error: $ g++ main.cc main.cc:17:38: error: too many template-parameter-lists void Base<T>::do_sth(S param, struct Dummy) // not working ^ main.cc:17:6: error: prototype for ‘void Base<T>::do_sth(S, int)’ does not match any in class ‘Base<T>’ void Base<T>::do_sth(S param, struct Dummy) // not working ^ main.cc:11:18: error: candidate is: template<class T> template<class S> void Base<T>::do_sth(S, Dummy) void do_sth(S param, struct Dummy dummy); $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
