>Description:
In the following:

class Foo
{
	class Nested_Foo
		{
			 static void doit() {/*do something*/}
		};	
};

template<class T>
void do_some_more()
{	
		T::Nested_Foo::doit();
}

int main()
{
	do_some_more<Foo>()
}

The compiler gives the error on (g++ test.cc)

test.cc: In function `void do_something ()':
test.cc:30: parse error before `::'

(see attached test.cc file)

I can add the following in do_some_more()

template<class T>
void do_some_more()
{
	typedef typename T:Nested_Foo nf;
	nf::doit();
}

and the compiler doesn't have a problem.  Is this a parser error or am I doing something wrong.

complie attachment

g++ test.cc
>Fix:
See description.  I think this is a compiler (parser?) bug.
