this snippet from firebird "vulcan" project. it compiles with gcc 3.2
sorry, i'm still learning what i can cut out of the sample and still have it be valid C++ GNU C++ version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3) (i386-redhat-linux) compiled by GNU C version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3). host> g++ a.cpp a.cpp: In static member function `static const Key& BePlusTree<Value, Key, Allocator, KeyOfValue, Cmp, LeafCount, NodeCount>::NodeList::generate(void*, void*)':a.cpp:114: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token a.cpp:114: error: expected `)' before "item" a.cpp:115: error: expected `)' before ';' token -------- a.cpp --------- #define NULL ((void*)0) typedef long long size_t; // Very fast static array of simple types template <typename T, int Capacity> class Vector { public: Vector() : count(0) {} T& operator[](int index) { return data[index]; } T* begin() { return data; } T* end() { return data + count; } protected: int count; T data[Capacity]; }; // Template to convert value to index directly template <typename T> class DefaultKeyValue { public: static const T& generate(void* sender, const T& Item) { return Item; } }; // Template for default value comparsion template <typename T> class DefaultComparator { public: static bool greaterThan(const T& i1, const T& i2) { return i1 > i2; } }; // Fast sorted array of simple objects // It is used for B+ tree nodes lower, but can still be used by itself template <typename Value, int Capacity, typename Key = Value, typename KeyOfValue = DefaultKeyValue<Value>, typename Cmp = DefaultComparator<Key> > class SortedVector : public Vector<Value, Capacity> { public: SortedVector() : Vector<Value, Capacity>() {} }; class MallocAllocator { public: void *allocate(size_t size) {return NULL;} void deallocate(void *p) { } }; template <typename Value, typename Key = Value, typename Allocator = MallocAllocator, typename KeyOfValue = DefaultKeyValue<Value>, typename Cmp = DefaultComparator<Key>, int LeafCount = 100, int NodeCount = 100 > class BePlusTree { public: BePlusTree(Allocator *_pool) : pool(_pool), level(0), defaultAccessor(this) { root = new (_pool->allocate(sizeof(ItemList))) ItemList(); }; ~BePlusTree() { } bool add(const Value& item) { return defaultAccessor.add(item); } private: BePlusTree(Allocator *_pool, void *rootPage) : pool(_pool), level(0), root(new(rootPage) ItemList()), defaultAccessor(this) {} class NodeList; public: class ItemList : public SortedVector<Value,LeafCount,Key,KeyOfValue,Cmp> { public: NodeList *parent; ItemList *next, *prev; // Adds newly created item to doubly-linked list ItemList(ItemList *items) : parent(NULL) { } ItemList() : parent(NULL), next(NULL), prev(NULL) {}; friend class BePlusTree; friend class BePlusTree::NodeList; }; private: class NodeList : public SortedVector<void*,NodeCount,Key,NodeList,Cmp> { public: NodeList(NodeList *items) : parent(NULL) {} NodeList() : parent(NULL), next(NULL), prev(NULL) {} int level; NodeList *parent; NodeList *next, *prev; static const Key& generate(void *sender, void *item) { for (int lev = ((NodeList *)sender)->level; lev > 0; lev--) item = *((NodeList *)item)->begin(); return KeyOfValue::generate(item, *((BePlusTree::ItemList *)item)->begin() ); } }; public: class Accessor { public: Accessor(BePlusTree* _tree) : tree(_tree), curr(NULL), curPos(0) {} Value& current() const { return (*curr)[curPos]; } public: BePlusTree* tree; ItemList *curr; int curPos; }; public: Allocator *pool; int level; void *root; Accessor defaultAccessor; friend class MemoryPool; friend class NodeList; friend class Accessor; }; -- Summary: [regression 3.3/3.4.4.0] Product: gcc Version: 3.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: kent at sas dot com CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC host triplet: i386-redhat-linux http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19919
