    Munagala> It works fine with gcc-2.7.2:

    Munagala> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Munagala> template< class T1, class T2 > void PushBack( T1 *p, T2
    Munagala> &c ) { T2::value_type wrp( p ); c.push_back( wrp ); }
    Munagala> ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Munagala> When I compile with egcs-1.0, I get this:

    Munagala> ram@dust tests: /d2a/exper/bin/gcc bug3.C -lstdc++
    Munagala> bug3.C: In function `void PushBack(T1 *, T2 &)':
    Munagala> bug3.C:4: parse error before `('

This is not a bug.  You must say 

  typename T2::value_type wrp (p)

according to the standard.

    Munagala> Thanks.
