------- Additional Comments From pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-03-24 18:56 ------- I think this is invalid code as "B<const T>::TYPE f(const T &);" is tried first, and there for B<const int> is instantiated. If there were no indirections, it would have been rejected because the type does not exist but since there is an indirection well it errors out. Sorry if this does not make sense, I cannot find why the standard talks about this right now and I don't have time to look it up and also sorry if this is not what you expected.
