>Description:
I want to access a template class ttype parameter outside the class.
Code example:

//////// begin /////////

template <class T> class C {
 
public:
    typedef T T;
    T v;
};
 
//void main () {
//
//      typedef C <int> CC;
//      CC::T i;
//}                           

////////////// end ////////////////////

gcc reports:
$g++ -c error.cpp
error.cpp:4: declaration of `typedef T C<T>::T'
error.cpp:1:  shadows template parm `class T'
error.cpp:4: declaration of `typedef T C<T>::T'
error.cpp:1: changes meaning of `T' from `class T'   

So, type T is "shadowed" by type T. I think, this is not an error
in code, but a compiler bug.
MS Visual C++ compiles this OK.

Detailed out:
$g++ -v -save-temps -c error.cpp
>How-To-Repeat:
g++ -c error.cpp
