Templates Problem comes from gcc

[Pascal Francq <pfrancq at ulb dot ac dot be>]

The bug that I reported in the last mail has the following origin:

// parent class declaration
template<class T> class foo1  
{
public:
  unsigned int nb;
};

// child class declaration
template<class T> class foo2 : public foo1 
{
public:
  void init(void);
}

// global variable
unsigned int nb; 

// child class definition
template<class T> void foo2<T>:init(void)
{
  for(unsigned i=nb+1;--i;)
  {
     doSomething();
  }
}


The gcc compiler use in the init function the global variable nb and the
variable nb inherits from foo1.
I think this is an error of gcc.
