Dear all, I would like to post a bug report for the GNU C/C++ compiler 3.3-e500.
We use the compiler to generate code for a PowerPC processor. Used invokation line for the GNU C++ compiler: ccppc -c -x c++ -ansi -Wall -Werror -mcpu=8540 -fverbose-asm -mbig -fmerge-templates -mmultiple -mno-string -mstrict-align -O3 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fno-builtin-printf -I<some include paths> -D<some #define's> X.CPP -oX.O // file X.CPP template <typename T_> struct S { struct B; }; class C { template <typename T_> friend struct S<T_>::B; // <--- line 10 }; The compiler gives the following error message: X.CPP:10: warning: `S<T_>::B' is implicitly a typename X.CPP:10: warning: implicit typename is deprecated, please see the documentation for details X.CPP:10: error: typename type `S<T_>::B' declared `friend' According to 14.5.3/6 the compiler should accept the code above. Kind regards W.
