It seems that if you have a template class derived from another template class, that the derived class can not access the super-class protected members.
I've put a short code segment below. It compiles and works as expected using gcc 2.95.2, 3.2.3, 3.3.2, and 3.3.5. It doesn't compile using gcc 3.4.0 or 3.4.3. The error is: try-derive-temp.C: In member function `void Bar<T, S>::derivedSetT(const T&)': try-derive-temp.C:25: error: `_t' undeclared (first use this function) try-derive-temp.C:25: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) (_t is a protected member of the base class - it doesn't matter if _t is made public, or if it is a template type or an intrinsic) I'd appreciate being cc'ed on any discussion of this bug report, since I'm not on any gcc mailing lists.
