Description bsamwel 2003-10-29 13:15:31 UTC 
AFAICS the following code should compile.


template<int a>
struct foo
{
  struct barney
  {
    template<int c>
    void bar()
    {  
    }
  };

  void baz()
  {
    barney b;
    b.bar<0>(); // (This is line 15.)
  }
};

Comeau's online compiler compiles this snippet just fine. GCC 3.3.2 gives me:

gcc test.cc
test.cc: In member function `void foo<a>::baz()':
test.cc:15: error: parse error before `;' token

No, this is invalid code. The type of b is template dependent, so
you need to use the following syntax (which does compile with
gcc):
    b.template bar<0>(); // (This is line 15.)
