> 'Base' is definitely a valid class name.
No it isn't, Base is a class template, and that is not a class. The error
message is completely accurate, although it could be improved to say how to fix
the code.
Clang also says:
p.cc:6:14: error: expected class name
struct Foo : Base
^
EDG gives a better error:
"p.cc", line 6: error: argument list for class template "Base" is missing
struct Foo : Base
^
"p.cc", line 6: error: not a class or struct name
struct Foo : Base
^
Ideally the compiler would recognise that Base is a template and point out that
the template argument list is missing.
