internal compiler error

[Martin Schweiger <martins at medphys dot ucl dot ac dot uk>]

Hi,

I have mailed this bug report to bug-g++@prep.ai.mit.edu, since I encountered
it on g++ 2.8.1, but got no reply. A colleague who uses egcs 1.0.3 tells me
that he gets the same compiler error, so I post this report to you as well
in the hope you will prove more responsive ...

The following file

************* begin file gbug.cc *****************

template<class T>class A {
public:
    A(){}
    void mthd();
};

template<class T>
void A<T>::mthd()
{
    struct {
	double d;
    } t;
}

void main() {
    A<double> a;
}

************ end file gbug.cc **************

produces these compiler messages:

g++ gbug.cc -o gbug.o
gbug.cc: In method `void A<T>::mthd()':
gbug.cc:10: Internal compiler error.
gbug.cc:10: Please submit a full bug report to `egcs-bugs@cygnus.com'.
 
It appears that the compiler can't handle a struct inside a template
class method! (This strikes me as rather fundamental)

Do you have a solution to this problem? Any response, in particular a
patch, if one is already available for this, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Martin Schweiger
