Problem with a map default argument initialization

[Julie Deslongchamps]

Hi!

I have a compilation problem here.  Please take a look at the code below :

#include <map>
#include<vector>
#include<string>

using namespace std;

map<string, string> bar();

typedef map<string, string> MyMap;

class Foo
{
public:

Foo(const MyMap &bar = MyMap());
Foo(const map<string, string> &bar=map<string, string>());
Foo(const vector<string> &bar = vector<string>());
};

In the second constructor Foo(const map<string, string> &bar=map<string,
string>());,  the compiler says that there is a parse error before '>' token.
To have a workaround, I typedefed the map and everything works fine (as showed
in the first constructor).  Am I missing something?  Is there a bug with the
compiler?  I use gcc version 3.2.

Thank you for you help,
Best regards,

Julie Deslongchamps
