In GCC 4.5.3:

test.cc:5:13: error: ‘INVALID’ in class ‘A’ does not name a type

It should say: 5:25: error: ‘INVALID’ in class ‘A’ does not name a template

Notice that the location of the error is also wrong.

Clang gives a better diagnostic, but an extra superfluous one:

/tmp/webcompile/_14799_0.cc:5:25: error: 'INVALID' following the 'template'
keyword does not refer to a template
    typedef A::template INVALID<void> X;
               ~~~~~~~~ ^~~~~~~
/tmp/webcompile/_14799_0.cc:5:32: error: expected member name or ';' after
declaration specifiers
    typedef A::template INVALID<void> X;
    ~~~~~~~                    ^
2 errors generated.
