Template and member function pointers compile question

[Tristan Bonsall <tristan_bonsall@carallon.com>]

Hello,

I have a compile error trying to build come code with GCC. It works with 
MSVC 7, so I was hoping it was valid C++. What do I need to change to 
make this compile under GCC?

We are trying to use a pointer to a member function of a template class 
to speed up part of our code, where we are selecting one of a number of 
similar functions, so a template function makes the code easier to maintain.

This inane example reproduces the problem while retaining the structure 
of the original code.

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

template<class T>
class TestClass
{
public:
                TestClass() {}

    void        setFunc(bool, bool, bool);

private:

    template<bool,bool,bool> void calculate();

protected:

    void        (TestClass::*pFunc)();

    float       data;
};

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

template<class T>
template<bool PLUS, bool MODULO, bool SQUARE>
void TestClass<T>::calculate()
{
    if (PLUS)
    {
        data += 10;

        if (MODULO)
        {
            data %= 5;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        data -= 7;
    }

    if (SQUARE)
    {
        data *= data;
    }
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

template<class T>
void TestClass<T>::setFunc(bool plus, bool modulo, bool square)
{
    if (plus)
    {
        if (modulo)
        {
            if (square)
            {
                pFunc = &TestClass<T>::calculate<true,true,true>;
            }
            else
            {
                pFunc = &TestClass<T>::calculate<true,true,false>;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (square)
            {
                pFunc = &TestClass<T>::calculate<true,false,true>;
            }
            else
            {
                pFunc = &TestClass<T>::calculate<true,false,false>;
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        if (modulo)
        {
            if (square)
            {
                pFunc = &TestClass<T>::calculate<false,true,true>;
            }
            else
            {
                pFunc = &TestClass<T>::calculate<false,true,false>;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (square)
            {
                pFunc = &TestClass<T>::calculate<false,false,true>;
            }
            else
            {
                pFunc = &TestClass<T>::calculate<false,false,false>;
            }
        }
    }
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

int main()
{
    TestClass<int> testClass;

    testClass.setFunc(true, true, false);
}

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
