The following code snippet produces an incorrect error message (since gcc 3.0):
==========================================
template<typename T> struct A {};
template<typename U> void foo(A<U>);
template<typename T> A<T> bar() { x; }
template A<int> bar<int>();
==========================================
The error message reads:
bug.cc: In function 'A<U> bar()':
bug.cc:5: error: 'x' was not declared in this scope
The "U" in 'A<U> bar()' is wrong here.
This is related to PR23293.
