I'm having issues referring to a base class under specific circumstances, and am hoping that someone can provide a work-around. I have a base class A with a template template parameter T: template <template <typename> class T> class A { public: A(int) {} }; I then have a templated child class that derives from A using CRTP: template <typename> class B : public A { public: B(int i) : A(i) {} }; gcc reports the following error on the line with B's constructor initializer list: "error: expected a class template, got 'B< <template-parameter-1-1> > I can accomplish this in Visual Studio, but I can't find the syntax to make it work in gcc v4.2.1 It seems to be a specific issue with referring to A inside the definition of B. Note that the following DOES compile template <typename> class Foo { }; template <typename> class B : public A<Foo> { public: B(int i) : A<Foo>(i) {} Is there some obscure syntax I can use to get around this? Thanks for your help! -Alex -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Referring-to-a-base-class-with-template-template-parameters-tp26249699p26249699.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
