Hi, 
 
The new C++ parser commit around christmas 2002 introduced a regression 
breaking Qt 3.2.x compilation. The problem is that gcc forgets to instantiate 
template methods which are never called, but only referenced in a function 
pointer and called from a cleanup routine.  
 
The first gcc mainline version showing this regression was 20021229, this is  
the output when trying to compile the testcase with this compiler:

the regression occurs in all mainline versions till 20030526 (newer not yet 
tested).
