Hi Steven,
Another compiler using the EDG parser produced this output:
line 9: error: incomplete type 'b' is not allowed
public b::template impl<i>
line 9: error: 'b' not a class or struct name
public b::template impl<i>
line 9: error: class or struct definition of 'b' is missing
public b::template impl<i>
While GCC produced this output:
9: error: expected template-name before '<' token
9: error: expected `{' before '<' token
9: error: expected unqualified-id before '<' token
So I'm pretty confident that what you are trying to do is not copacetic.
But what you want is me to cite chapter and verse of ISO 14882. Ummm. I dunno.
In situations like these I say "Hey, what's that over there? Is that two phase lookup?" And then run away when your back is turned.
Sincerely,
--Eljay
