-pedantic and typedef inheritance.

[Gerhard Esterhuizen <goof at dsp dot sun dot ac dot za>]

Hi,

I have a piece of code that contains a typedef in a templated base class
that seems to inherit down to the the derived class depending on whether
or not I use the -pedantic flag. Does this indicate that my code is wrong
(non ANSI/ISO) or should I not use the pedantic flag ? 

Compiler is egcs-1.1.2 (RedHat Linux 6.1) on Intel PII. If I compile using
	-Wall -ansi 
it works perfectly well, but a parse error is reported if I try it with
	-Wall -ansi -pedantic

Compiler output: 

[goof@pablo:~/devel/tmp]$ g++ -Wall -ansi -pedantic -c -o ttd3.o ttd3.cc
ttd3.cc: In method `void Derived3<_TD>::DerFunc()':
ttd3.cc:18: parse error before `=

Sample code:

template<typename _TB>
  struct Base3 {
     int baseData;
     void BaseFunc(void);
     typedef int T_Generic;
  };

template<typename _TD>
  struct Derived3 : public Base3<Derived3<_TD> >  {
     _TD derData;
     void DerFunc(void) {
	// inherits base class data: OK
	baseData = 1;
	// inherits base class function: OK
	BaseFunc();
	// compiler gives parse ERROR because T_Generic
	// does not inherit. Why ?
	T_Generic t = 2;
     }
  };
