EGCS 1.1b: bug in template/initialising a pointer to a member

[Lassi A. Tuura]

Hi,

EGCS 1.1b fails to initialise the member variable with the error message
given below.  No errors occur if the constructor is inlined in the
class.  Templates seem to be required to trigger this bug.

--- bug2.cxx
template <class T, class U> struct X { X (U T::*member); U T::*m; };
template <class T, class U> inline X<T,U>::X (U T::*member) : m (member) {}

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.  However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.  It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead.  --RFC1925, "The Twelve Networking Truths"
