[Bug c++/20578] New: Problem with templates

[mah at systematic dot dk]

The following C++ code does not compile, which I believe it should (It 
compiles on gcc 1.1.1 and Microsoft's VS.NET):

--------Code start--------
template <class T>
class A {
protected:
  int a;
};

template <class T>
class B: public A<T> {
public:
  void f() { a = 5; }
};
--------Code end--------
I get the following error:
test.cpp: In member function `void B<T>::f()':
test.cpp:10: error: `a' undeclared (first use this function)
test.cpp:10: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each 
function it appears in.)
asterix:components/mde> /pack/gcc/3.4.3/bin/g++ test.cpptest.cpp: In member 
function `void B<T>::f()':
test.cpp:10: error: `a' undeclared (first use this function)
test.cpp:10: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
