[Bug c++/25110] New: "expected primary-expression before ')' token" error when compiling templated method of templated class

Hello,
I stumbled across a somewhat strange behaviour in GCC 4.0.2. I was able to
simplify my code down to the following:
template<typename T>
struct Type2Type
{
typedef T type;
};
template<typename T>
class Foo
{
public:
template<int i>
void Func() { }
};
template<typename T>
void Bar(const T& p1)
{
Foo<typename Type2Type<T>::type> f;
f.Func<0>();
}
int main()
{
Bar(1);
return 0;
}
I didn't really figure out what exactly is responsible for this behaviour.
However, changing the "typename Type2Type<T>::type" to a simple type, let's say
an int, works. So, replacing
Foo<typename Type2Type<T>::type> f;
with
Foo<int> f;
works, but that doesn't help me in my case.
Unfortunately, typedefing the expression, in order to write
typedef typename Type2Type<T>::type someType;
Foo<someType> f;
instead of
Foo<typename Type2Type<T>::type> f;
yields the same error.
The output I get is:
test.cpp: In function 'void Bar(const T&)':
test.cpp:20: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token
test.cpp: In function 'void Bar(const T&) [with T = int]':
test.cpp:26: instantiated from here
test.cpp:20: error: invalid use of member (did you forget the '&' ?)
I'm using g++ 4.0.2 on Windows using the files over there
http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm
The command line used:
g++.exe test.cpp -mwindows
I do hope that this is information is useful
Thanks
