GNU Compiler bug ?

[Ulrich Broniecki]

Hello,

using GNU gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release) on a
Sparc with Solaris 2.7 and Rogue Wave Tools.h++ v0707 UNIX there
appeared a problem that seems to be a bug. It is reported as 'parse
error' but I do not find an error in the code nor a matching restriction
in the GNU manual. 

Appended you'll find
- the piece of code containing the problem (tmp.cps)
- the output from translation with -E option but without blanks
(tmp.cpp)
- the used sequence of commands and the error messages (tmp.lst)

Regards
