[Bug c++/24588] New: Fails to identify template using local classes

[igodard at pacbell dot net]

#include <iostream>

template<typename E>
class A {
public:
    class iterator {
        E dummy;
        };
    iterator iter;
    };

template< typename E>
void sort( typename A<E>::iterator& first, typename A<E>::iterator& last ) {
    std::cout << "sort" << std::endl;
    }

int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
    A<int> first, last;
    sort(first.iter,last.iter);
    return 0;
    }


gets you:

~/ootbc/members/src$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
foo.cc:19: error: no matching function for call to 'sort(A<int>::iterator&,
A<int>::iterator&)'


Also fails on 4.0.2
