This should compile but doesn't in g++ 3.4.2 (it works in 3.3):
template<typename T>
class Base {
protected:
T m_member;
};
template<typename T>
class Derived : public Base<T> {
public:
Derived(T val) { m_member = val; }
};
test.cpp:11: error: `m_member' undeclared (first use this function)
The workaround is to add an explicit qualifier:
Derived(T val) { Base<T>::m_member = val; }
A similar issue arises with protected methods, with a different error message:
template<typename T>
class Base {
protected:
BaseMethod() { }
};
template<typename T>
class Derived : public Base<T> {
public:
Derived(T val) { BaseMethod(); }
};
test.cpp:5: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `BaseMethod' with no type
test.cpp: In constructor `Derived<T>::Derived(T)':
test.cpp:11: error: there are no arguments to `BaseMethod' that depend on a
template parameter, so a declaration of `BaseMethod' must be available
