Hi, the bug affects all versions of gcc from 3.0 till now. The code compiles fine on 2.95.x, however (checked on i686-pc-linux-gnu and mips-sgi-irix6.5). Thus, it is a regression and should be marked high priority. Greetings, Volker Reichelt http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=8172
