             Bug #: 56449

           Summary: operator-> in a template class can lead to infinite

                    template instantiation

    Classification: Unclassified

           Product: gcc

           Version: 4.6.3

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Severity: normal

          Priority: P3

         Component: c++

        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org

        ReportedBy: ba...@list.ru





Code example:



template<class T> struct Loop { Loop<T*> operator->(); };

Loop<int> i, j = i->something;



The compiler doesn't diagnose infinite Loop<> instantiation. Even CLI option

ftemplate-depth=n doesn't help.
