I am not positive about this bug report, but I cannot see what G++ wants from me, and in addition all the other compilers I have access to accept the following code (including 3.4).
---------------------------------------- template < template<typename> class Traits_ > struct Factory { }; template < template<typename> class Traits_> struct Product { template < template<typename> class > friend class Factory; }; template<typename Tag_> struct traits {}; int main () { Product<traits> (); } ---------------------------------------- % g++-3.4 -Wall temp2.cc % g++-snapshot -Wall temp2.cc temp2.cc: In instantiation of `Product<traits>': temp2.cc:19: instantiated from here temp2.cc:1: erreur: template parameter 'template<class> class Traits_' temp2.cc:8: erreur: redeclared here as 'template<template<class> class Traits_> template<class> class<template-parameter-1-1>' % icc -Wall temp2.cc % I do not understand the prototype g++ reports. It looks as if it concatenated the outer template to the inner friend template class.
