compilation error with named operator

[Kai Henning]

Hi folks,

this code compiles fine with VC and Comeau Online, but fail with GCC in every version 4.x on Windows and linux.
Can anyone explain why.

error message from GCC: 'struct FOO' has no member named 'operator FOO2<T>::type'

struct FOO
{
    operator int() const            { return static_cast< int >(7); }
    operator double() const         { return static_cast< double >(7); }
};

template < typename T >
struct FOO2
{
    typedef T       type;
    operator type() const           { return t->operator type(); }
private:
    FOO* t;
};

int main()
{
    FOO2< int > foo2; foo2.operator int();
    return 1;
}


Kai
