------- Comment #7 from cppljevans at suddenlink dot net 2007-11-01 21:38 ------- Please ignore 1st attachment. I selected auto-detect thinking it would auto-detect it as text/plain.
When #define INST_GT, the friend operator>> is instantiated and this give the ice. OTOH, when #undef INST_GT, apparently the fried operator>> is not instantiated and compiler gives: main-pt-c-ice.cpp:68: error: no match for 'operator>>' in 'a_arg >> a_arg' So maybe the compiler is right about having to instantiate enclosing class. Maybe what I really need is a templated namespace, as mentioned here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.std.c++/browse_thread/thread/4baec3f90675a166/6eb713e7bb143b09?lnk=gst&q=namespace+template#6eb713e7bb143b09 -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33959
