Check out the following code (written just for fun)
namespace N
{
template<typename T>
struct K
{
};
}
template<typename T>
struct X
{
typename T::template K<T> *p; //should give error
//N::K<int> has no template member named `K`
};
int main()
{
X<N::K<int> > l;
}
The code gets compiled on g++(4.5.1) and Clang whereas Comeau and Intel C++ give (similar) errors.
The errors that I get on Comeau are :
"ComeauTest.c", line 13: error: class "N::K<int>" has no member "K"
typename T::template K<T> *p;
^
detected during instantiation of class "X<T> [with T=N::K<int>]" at
line 18
"ComeauTest.c", line 13: error: expected an identifier
typename T::template K<T> *p;
^
detected during instantiation of class "X<T> [with T=N::K<int>]" at
line 18
So my question is "Is the code sample ill-formed ?" According to me "Yes". Does that mean this is yet another bug in g++/Clang?
