meanwhile i found that the compiler means it does not know the type A,
it seems clear, but older versions gave a better understandable message.
Something like this:
you use 'A' as a type, but it's not defined yet
and it was pretty clear that the compiler doesn't know A.
and SORRY but the example is picked from a much more complex case and it
was not the way that class A was already defined. But i don't understand
this errormessage.
Thanks, cris

It seems like in this case, this should work... Usually this error is
found in conjunction with templates, at least in my experience.
I don't know the actual reason why g++ stopped being able to recognize
these kinds of types (I bet it has something to do with the
standard... anyone?), but the fix is usually easy...
try
typename A a;

Hello dear gcc-helper,
I have a program without problems compiling with 3.3.5 but don't work with
4.0.2.
there is on class A and another on B
so B has a datamember an object of A, like this
class A{
...
};
class B{
...
A a; <<<<<<<
};
The compiler answers that:
file linenumber: A does not name a type
