>Description:
It appears that the ANSI C++ typename keyword causes an ICE when it is used to declare that a member of a template parameter is a data type.

For example, MSDN lists this code:

template<class T> class X {
   typename T::Y;      // treat Y as a type

   Y m_y;
};

g++ does not accept that as valid code.
