wow. in less than 30 minutes i got three responses from the egcs
list, went to management to see what they thought, and now we can use
egcs! :) Thanks for the help!
FYI:
It helped that we found a very explicit paragraph about why KCC
handles this new ISO C++ requirement in this way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Implicit use of keyword typename
ISO recently introduced a keyword typename. Its use is required inside
templates for certain contexts by the ISO rules, as demonstrated by
typename.C. However, it is so recent that very few codes use
it. Therefore, by default, KAI C++ infers where the keyword typename
should have been used. To turn off this inference, use the option:
--no_implicit_typename
The option --strict also turns off the inference. If you want strict
ISO except for typename, use the options --strict --implicit_typename.
