>Description:
The following preprocessed source should compile without errors, but doesn't:

# 1 "DateTimeNS.cpp"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command line>"
# 1 "DateTimeNS.cpp"
namespace Test {

template <typename Result, typename Value> inline Result convert(Value v) {
    return Result(v);
}

class DateTime {
    friend DateTime Test::convert<DateTime,long>(long);
    static long convert(const long double & v);
};

template <> inline DateTime convert<DateTime,long>(long v) {
        return DateTime();
}

long DateTime::convert(const long double & v) {
        return long(v);
}

}

The error messages are:
DateTimeNS.cpp:9: declaration of `static long int Test::DateTime::convert(const
   long double&)'
DateTimeNS.cpp:3: changes meaning of `convert' from `Result
   Test::convert(Value)'
>How-To-Repeat:
Save the attached code without the first four lines in a source
file, say a.cpp; run
g++ -c a.cpp
