Hey,
the following piece of code doesn't compile, although I can't think of
anything why it shouldn't. Reversing the order of the declaration of
struct a and b solves this, which is kinda irritating. Any idea why
this isn't compiling? and maybe a quote from teh standard about this?
Thanks in advance,
Steven
-----------------
struct b;
struct a : public b::impl<0>
{};
struct b
{
template<int>
struct impl
{};
};
