Bug involving derived template classes in G++ 3.4.3

[John M Collins]

Please "CC" me as I'm not subscribed.

I have the following program segment (cutting down to bare minimum). This has 
worked previously with G++ 3.3.* and earlier.

Classes cut down to bare minimum obviously - the "real" ones made use of "X".

class  A  {
public:
int field1;
};

template class  B : public A  {
public:
int field2;
};

template class C : public B  {
public:
C(int k)  { field1 = k;  }  
//  G++ 3.4.3 complains that "field1" is not defined
void setk(int k) { field1 = k; }
//  Likewise it complains.
};

main()
{
C p(17);

return  0;
}

The problem goes away if I put "this->field1" in there instead of bare 
"field1" thus

C(int k)  { this->field1 = k;  }
void setk(int k) { this->field1 = k; }

Thank you - I apologise for missing that.

I wonder if I might suggest that the message be expanded in this case - it did 
break a good few lines of code - and the way it's broken is not obvious, for 
example virtual functions in "A" can still be overriden in template class "C" 
with the expected result.
