RE: gcc 3.1: bug with inherited templates when specified by namespace

["Mountfort, Geoff" <gmountfort at avaya dot com>]

Dylan,

I get
	Frog.cpp:13: parse error before `template'
from
	namespace other
	{
	template< class T >
	class Frog
	{
	    T   m_t;    // doesn't matter what's here
	};
	
	}


	class MrBlobbyBlab : public other::Frog        // erm... where's the
template parameter?
	{
	};
with
	g++ (GCC) 3.1
on
	CYGWIN_NT-5.0 DUKE 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i686 unknown

namespace other
{
template< class T >
class Frog
{
    ...        // doesn't matter what's here
};

}


class MrBlobbyBlab : public other::Frog        // erm... where's the
template parameter?
{
};


The problem is that the above code compiles with no warning or error and
puts god knows what into MrBlobbyBlab as a base class.  Put anything in
"Frog" and it just doesn't matter.

Put a "using namespace other" and change other::Frog to simply Frog and it
comes up with an error as it properly should.

This is with gcc v3.1 in Cygwin.  Can anyone else confirm this problem?
