g++-2.95.2 bug

[Martin Schweiger <martins at medphys dot ucl dot ac dot uk>]

Problem:
--------
"rejects-legal" (I think):
Compilation of a template class fails when a member function
has the same name as a template friend function.

GCC version: 
------------
GNU C++ version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
compiled by GNU C version 2.95.2 19991024 (release).  

System type:
------------
i686-pc-linux-gnu

Command line:
-------------
g++ test.cc

Compiler output:
----------------
test.cc: In instantiation of `foo<double>':
test.cc:26:   instantiated from here
test.cc:9: invalid use of undefined type `class foo<double>'
test.cc:11: forward declaration of `class foo<double>'

Preprocessed file (test.ii):
----------------------------
# 1 "test.cc"
template<class T>
class foo;

template<class T>
void bar(foo<T>);

template<class T>
class foo {
  friend void bar<>(foo<T>);
  int bar (void);
};

template<class T>
void bar(foo<T>) {
  int x = 1;
}

template<class T>
int foo<T>::bar (void)
{
  return 1;
}

int main(void)
{
  foo<double> f;
  return 0;
}


GCC configure options:
----------------------
--with-gcc-version-trigger=/home/martins/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/version.c
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--norecursion
