------- Additional Comments From bangerth at dealii dot org 2004-10-18 15:47 ------- I think your testcase isn't very good. After all, you really try to instantiate A<A<A<A...>>> and the compiler only gives up after its 500 nested instantiations. Your testcase is really badly constructed since it necessarily requires the 500 instantiations, whereas mine from comment #3 only requires 2 or so (a finite number if the instantiation depth would be infinite, whereas yours is really infinite).
