>Description:
The following legal code gives a totally bogus error message on mainline:
------------------------------
struct Foo
{};
template <typename T>
struct Identity
{
typedef T type;
};
struct Bar
{
template <typename T>
typename Identity<T>::type
func(T t)
{
return Identity<T>::type(t);
}
};
int main()
{
Bar b;
b.func(Foo());
}
------------------------------
gcc34bug1.cpp: In member function `typename Identity<T>::type Bar::func(T) [with T = Foo]':
gcc34bug1.cpp:24: instantiated from here
gcc34bug1.cpp:16: error: no match for call to `(Foo) (Foo&)'
The problem in the above code is that line 16 is missing the typename keyword.
This is obviously not reproducible on 3.3 or previous due to the implicit typename extensions.
