GCC Bug

[Luke B. Bishop]

GCC V2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2) has a bug in the handling of templates.

Attached is a very very short example program that causes this bug.  The
program itself has an error which should abort compilation, however,
there should be a message printed regarding the type of error, while an
"internal compiler error" is reported.

This seems like a very specialized case, however, in one of our
(soon-to-be-made-public) libraries, this can actually be a rather common
error.

// Minimal example of the spurious compiler error
#include <stdio.h>

template <class A>
class test : public A {
	test()
	{
		CallBase();
	}
};

int main()
{
	test<int> mytest;
}
