 Hi all,
 c++/509 is one of my rather old bug reports. So I tried whether it has 
 been fixed without anyone noticing. It has not, but there's a second bug 
 in the compiler now which I'd like to get into the data base by this way. 
 With gcc3.1, the error message for the test case now reads:
 
 x.cc:8: ambiguous template specialization `f<>' for `void Example<double>::f(double)'
 x.cc:3: candidates are: void Example<T>::f(double) [with T = double]
 x.cc:4:                 template<class U> void Example::f(U) [with U = U, T =  double]
 
 Note the "with U=U" in the second line, which should really read
 "with U=double".
 
 Whoever attempts to fix the original bug should also make sure that this 
 is fixed first.
 
 Anyway, accept my thanks for making gcc such a good compiler! Best regards
   Wolfgang
