Error 19970302

[Wayne Miller]

Martin,

Thank you very much for your prompt response.

My C++ might be a bit deficient, but I'm pretty sure that should in fact be
allowed under ANSI C++.  (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)  In fact, removing
the base class entirely prevents any compilation errors for me.  I have
reattached the file test.ii which causes the error.  In addition, I have
attached the file test2.ii, which compiles perfectly fine.  You can see that
the difference is very minor.

To reiterate my problem, I've been receiving the following error:

test.cpp:8: Internal compiler error 19970302.
test.cpp:8: Please submit a full bug report.
test.cpp:8: See <URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/faq.html#bugreport >
for instructions

My system is
- gcc version 2.95.2
- GNU/Linux, kernel 2.2.14 (Mandrake 7.1) on i686 (Intel P2)
and I've been using the command "gcc -c test.cpp" (or "gcc -c test2.cpp").

Thank you once again,

Wayne M. Miller
