make: *** [test.o] Error 1
>How-To-Repeat:
namespace
{
	template < unsigned N, typename T = double > class X {};
	template < unsigned N, typename T = double > class Y {};

	template < unsigned N, typename T >
	Y < N - 1, T >
	operator * (X < N, T > const &, Y < N, T > const &) throw ()
	{
		return Y < N - 1, T > ();
	}
#if 1
	template < unsigned N, typename T >
	Y < N + 1, T >
	operator * (X < N + 1, T > const &, Y < N, T > const &) throw ()
	{
		return Y < N + 1, T > ();
	}
#else
	template < unsigned N, typename T >
	Y < N, T >
	operator * (X < N, T > const &, Y < N - 1, T > const &) throw ()
	{
		return Y < N, T > ();
	}
#endif


	template Y < 1, double > operator * (X < 2, double > const &, Y < 2, double > const &) throw ();
	template Y < 2, double > operator * (X < 2, double > const &, Y < 1, double > const &) throw ();
}

int
main ()
{
	try
	{
	}
	catch (...)
	{
	}
	return 0;
}
>Fix:
the code inside the #if 1 will not compile with 3.1 but will with 3.0.4 and earlier, but change the #if 1 to #if 0 and it will compile with 3.1 but not with earlier versions of gcc.

(either form compiles with the Comeau online compiler)
