Hi,
Can somebody tell me whether there is a known bug in g++ 4.0.1 wrt scoping
of members of a template base class. The following contrived test case
generates a compiler error on 4.0.1, complaining that 'a' is not in the
scope scope of D<T>::f()
template<class C> class T
{
protected:
bool a;
};
template <class C> class D : public T<C>
{
public:
void f(void)
{
a = true;
}
};
int main()
{
D<int> i;
i.f();
return 0;
}
s.cxx: In member function 'void D<T>::f()':
s.cxx:12: error: 'a' was not declared in this scope
This code was accepted just fine on gcc 3.2.3, so could be a new bug, or a
deliberate change to the scoping rules ?
Thanks,
