That's not much help, is it!?

Well, let's see.  I think you can do this analysis yourself, FWIW:

/net/legless/scratch1/rwgk/hot/boost/boost/python/object/make_instance.hpp:63:
error: request for member M-CM-"M-bM-^BM-,M-KM-^\get_class_objectM-CM-"M-bM-^B
M-,M-bM-^DM-" in
M-CM-"M-bM-^BM-,M-KM-^\boost::python::converter::detail::registered_base<const v
olatile
Y&>::convertersM-CM-"M-bM-^BM-,M-bM-^DM-", which is of non-class type M-CM-"M-b
M-^BM-,M-KM-^\const
boost::python::converter::registration&M-CM-"M-bM-^BM-,M-bM-^DM-"

It seems to be claiming that the static

   registration const&

member named "converters" of

  registered_base<Y const volatile&>

Doesn't have class type.  Clearly wrong.  I mean, it's a reference to an
object of class type, but for all purposes other than initialization you
can do the same things with that as you can do with a class instance.

GCC bug?

No,  just using UTF-8 for the quotes because your LC/LANG includes UTF-8 in there.  if you don't want 
them, don't lie to the compiler about supporting UTF-8 :).


I will try to reduce this also.

a little more reduced

This is as far as I getting, not much but a start, someone else wants to start
reducing it?

Created attachment 7890 [details]
With removed (mostly) iostreams and some other

I decided to take a different method to reducing this testcase by using the old style copy and paste 
method which is better sometimes at reducing testcases (in fact much better and faster with C++ 
code):
struct t
{
  void f() const;
};
template <typename _Tp>
struct A
{
 static t const&  c;
};
template <typename _Tp>
void g(void)
{
  A<_Tp>::c.f();
}
void h(void)
{
  g<int>();
}

It worked with 4.0.0 20041124 so this is a new regression :(.
