>Description:
Compiler crashes when compiling a simple source. It's not perfectly legal code, but I think it should compile. The command line and compiler output is:

>How-To-Repeat:
template <class CharType, CharType line_terminator = 0>
class String {};

String<char, 255> s;
>Fix:
If 255 is replaced with a value between -128..127, the code compiles. I think code is legal and 255 should be converted to signed char as usual, but I'm not sure.
