GCC Bugzilla Bug 4137

I do not know whether this is a bug in the compiler or
illegal code.
The following program does not compile:



template <typename c>
struct a
{
  typedef int b;
  
  operator b();
};

template <typename c>
a<c>::operator typename a<c>::b() // omitting `typename'
                                  // makes no difference
{
  return 0;
}



Workaround:



template <typename c>
struct a
{
  typedef int b;
  
  operator b() {return 0;}
};



Without templates there is no problem:


struct a
{
  typedef int b;
  
  operator b();
};

a::operator a::b()
{
  return 0;
}

Release:
3.0.1

Environment:
SuSE 7.1
