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 class X; template <typename T_> int X::** f1 () { return static_cast<T_*>(0); } int X::** f2 () { return f1<int X::* const>(); } The compiler gives the following error messages: X.CPP: In function `int X::** f1() [with T_ = int X::*]': X.CPP:6: instantiated from here X.CPP:4: error: invalid conversion from `int X::**' to `int X::**' BTW, function f1 is instantiated with 'T_ = int X::* const' and not with 'T_ = int X::*'. Kind regards W.
