------- Comment #17 from josep dot m dot perez at bsc dot es 2008-06-16 09:23 ------- I've reproduced the same problem with official GCC 4.3.1 on Linux amd64.
template<typename T> struct B { struct C { __attribute__((always_inline)) C(C const &c) { } }; void __attribute__((always_inline)) g(C c) { } }; void trigger(B<int> b, B<int>::C c) { b.g(c); } Using built-in specs.
