>Description:
The attached code does not compile. And gives the error

error.C: In member function `void B::f(int)':
error.C:15: parse error before `>' token

The fist < is recognized as operator< and not as the beginning of template arguments.

If you delete Line 11:
class C {};

the code compiles fine. Class C should not affect in any way the behaviour of void B::f(int).

If you delete Class A and use Class C as a template argument:


void B::f(int a)
{
   f<C>();
}

it still does not compile. (class C has to be defined between class B and void B::f(int a))
>How-To-Repeat:
g++ -c error.C
