Internel compiler error on invalid template code

[Stefan Bund <sbund at artec-berlin dot com>]

While in the midst of a major structural change in my application, I
recompiled the code to find all the places that were affected by that
change. Instead I got an internal compiler error from gcc :-)

I then went to <http://www.codesourcery.com/gcc-compile.shtml> and
found, the error persists in the current experimental
gcc-Version. Therefore I post this bug-report.

My gcc-Version is:

# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian GNU/Linux)


I cannot easily produce the configure arguments, they're the standard
ones supplied by debian, which I don't know :-)

compiling the attached preprocessed file yields:


# g++ dag_iterator_bag.ii
In file included from dag_iterator_bag.cc:8:
dag_iterator_bag.h:179: Internal compiler error.
dag_iterator_bag.h:179: Please submit a full bug report.
dag_iterator_bag.h:179: See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions.


The online-compile at codesourcery's did produce a few more diagnostic
error messages:


dag_iterator_bag.h:177: warning: `class iterator' declares a new type at namespace scope; to refer to the inherited type, say `class dag_iterator_bag::iterator' (names from dependent base classes are not visible to unqualified name lookup)
dag_iterator_bag.h:178: warning: `class const_iterator' declares a new type at namespace scope; to refer to the inherited type, say `class dag_iterator_bag::const_iterator'
dag_iterator_bag.h:179: Internal compiler error in pop_binding, at cp/decl.c: 1208 Please submit a full bug report.  See for instructions.


(Which I have not analysed yet). I know, my code is horrendously buggy
but I wanted to let you know of this internel compiler error

Thank's for that great product (I mean the C Compiler :-)

Stefan.
