STL Bug in egcs-1.1.1

[Thomas Binder]

Hi everybody.

It seems as if I found a bug in either STL's rope class or the compiler itself.

cat stl.cc

#include <rope.h>


eg++ -v -c stl.cc -ansi -pedantic

If you don't specify -ansi -pedantic the "code" compiles just fine. 

Does that mean the rope class is not ANSI-C++ compliant or is it just a 
"simple" compiler bug ?
