Description Mikael Kilpeläinen 2003-10-20 19:29:13 UTC 
following code gives an error.

namespace a { typedef int string; }
template<typename T> void foo(const T& string) { string.data(); }

error: insufficient contextual information to determine type

Same occures whatever the namespace a is, eg. including <string>

using gcc version 3.4 20031015 (experimental) in mandrake 9.1
Comment 1 Wolfgang Bangerth 2003-10-20 19:47:31 UTC 
Confirmed. This is totally bogus! It compiles with 3.3, so is a mainline
regression.

Comment 2 Wolfgang Bangerth 2003-10-20 19:50:29 UTC 
This looks related to PR 12937.
Comment 3 Nathan Sidwell 2003-10-24 08:12:47 UTC 
there is infinite recursion going on with VAARG_EXPR and force_rvalue
