Inner template classes confuse gcc-2.95 and gcc-2.95.1 compiler

[Michael Vance]

The following code causes incorrect compiler errors on gcc-2.95 with
Mumit Khan's patches, and straight gcc-2.95.1 built on a SuSE 6.2
machine. The info dump is obviously from the gcc-2.95 version. This
code compiles correctly on egcs-1.1.2 release. Mumit said that this
also compiles fine on his copy of gcc.

#include <list>

class NF {

    class K {
    public:
    K( void ) { };
    virtual ~K( ) { };
    virtual void foo( void ) { };
    };

    template<class T>
    class L : public std::list<T*>
    {
    public:
    L( void ) { };
    void find( void ) { };
    };

    class M {
    public:
    M( void ) { };
    virtual ~M( void ) { };
    virtual void bar( void ) { };
    };

    template<class T>
    class LH : public M, public L<T>, public K {
    public:
    LH( void ) { };
    virtual ~LH( void ) { };
    };

    class S : public K
    {
    friend LH<char>;
    friend LH<int>;
    friend LH<float>;

    char a;
    int b;
    float c;
    public:
    S( void ) { };
    };

};

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    return 0;
}
