[Bug c++/29942] New: Template parameter refused as a template parameter.

["samuel dot hangouet at free dot fr" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The following code produce a compilation error at the unique line of the
function named "visit" below (it is a basic implementation of a visitor
pattern) :

# 1 "test.cpp"
# 1 "<interne>"
# 1 "<ligne de commande>"
# 1 "test.cpp"
template <typename T>
struct Toto
{
    template <typename T2>
    void visit(T2 * o)
    {
        o->eval<T>();
    }
};

template <typename T>
struct Titi
{
    template <typename T2>
    void eval()
    { }
};

int main()
{
    Toto<int> toto;
    Titi<int> titi;
    toto.visit(& titi);
    return 0;
}

g++     test.cpp   -o test
test.cpp: In member function «void Toto<T>::visit(T2*)»:
test.cpp:7: erreur: expected primary-expression before «>» token
test.cpp:7: erreur: expected primary-expression before «)» token
make: *** [test] Erreur 1

I tried this with g++-3.4.6 too (it compiles and run well with msvc 8.0).
Here is the output of the command "g++ -v -save-temps test.cpp" :
