[Bug c++/23982] New: gcc tries to call global function instead of base template's method

[mmarek at suse dot cz]

The following code works with previous versions of gcc (tried "3.3.5
20050117" and "4.0.2 20050901"), but fails to compile with "4.1.0
20050919".  It works if Base and Derived aren't templates and it works
if I call this->func(t) (which is a simple workaround).

int func(const char*);

class Test {
        int i1, i2;
};

template <class T>
class Base {
public:
        void func(T &t) { };
};

template <class T>
class Derived : public Base<T> {
public:
        void call_func(T &t) {
#if 1
                func(t);
#else
                this->func(t);
#endif
        };
};

int main()
{
        Derived<Test> d;
        Test t;

        d.call_func(t);

        return 0;
}

PS: Sorry if this isn't a bug, I'm not that experienced in C++...
