Hello,
The following code shows that g++ reports a syntax error if the
method-call is inside a template-function but not if it's inside a
normal function:
-- snip --
#include <iostream>
template <int dim>
class Entity {
public:
template <class T>
void print(T& bla) { std::cout << bla;};
template <int i>
int test() { return i; }
int other() { return 1; }
};
void foo1() {
Entity<1> e;
// everything works
e.other();
e.print("test");
e.test<1>();
};
template <int dim>
void foo2() {
Entity<dim> e;
// works like above
e.other();
e.print("test");
// fails with syntax error
e.test<1>();
};
int main () {
};
-- snip --
riff /tmp> g++ -Wall temptest2.cc
temptest2.cc: In function `void foo2()':
temptest2.cc:33: error: syntax error before `)' token
riff /tmp> g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 3.3.2 (Debian)
...
(some comments on this may be found in my report to the Debian-BTS on
http://bugs.debian.org/216234). I'd like to forward this bug to the
GCC-bug-tracking-system but am not sure if this may be the known bug
-- snip --
Two stage lookup in templates is not implemented.
[14.6] specifies how names are looked up inside a template. G++
does not do this correctly, but for most templates this will not
be noticeable.
