[Bug c++/14622] New: type mismatch in explicit template instantiation not detected

[jens dot maurer at gmx dot net]

The following code should produce an error for the explicit
template instantiation, because the type given for the static variable
doesn't match the one in the class template.  None of the following
gcc versions produces an error:

gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
gcc version 3.3
gcc version 3.5.0 20040118 (experimental)
gcc version 3.5.0 20040317 (experimental)



template<class T>
class A
{
  static T a;
};

template<class T>
T A<T>::a;

class B
{ };

template
int A<B>::a;       // type mismatch
