GCC 2.95.2 bug report...private template function crash.

Thanks for your bug report. The mainline compiler (2.96 20000125
(experimental)) says

crackpipe.cpp: In function `int main ()':
crackpipe.cpp:41: initializing non-const `crackrock &' with `int' will use a temporary
crackpipe.cpp:43: request for member `smokeTheRock' in `myPipe', which is of non-aggregate type `crackpipe () ()'
crackpipe.cpp: In method `void crackpipe::putInPipe (_T) [with _T = crackrock]':
crackpipe.cpp:29:   instantiated from here
crackpipe.cpp:35: no match for `crackrock & != int'

so the bug has been fixed; g++ now correctly diagnoses the errors in
your code. The critical error is the declaration of

    crackpipe myPipe();

which does not declare a local variable, initialized with the default
ctor; instead, it declares a function returning crackpipe. As a result,
myPipe.smokeTheRock(myRock) is not a meaningful construct.

Correcting the other problems in your code, the mainline compiler
accepts it just fine. 2.95 will accept it after smokeTheRock is
out-of-line; I'll attach the corrected version below.

Regards,
Martin
