 Hi,

 the program below gives an error with g++ 2.95.2. I suppose this is just an
 unimplemented feature (see 7.5, p4) so if that's so I suggest that it be
 implemented without regard to the the current restriction that "A
 linkage-specification shall occur only in namespace scope..." This is currently
 a CWG issue and it is likely to be modified so that linkage-specifications can
 occur in typedefs at function, class, function signature, and class template
 scope. Please see CWG issue 13 and the recent discussion Re: linkage
 specification on the CWG mailing list (c++std-core@research.att.com).

 Martin
