 The code compiles fine with gcc 2.95.x, but fails since 3.0.
 Thus, we have a regression.

>Description:
I have a template class myclass for which I have defined a template member function operator+=, which takes as an argument an instantiation of the template class.  I wanted to make the function a friend of other instantiations of myclass.  For example, I wanted the function

myclass <float> & myclass<float>::operator+=(const myclass<double> &)
 
to be a friend of myclass<double>. 

To accomplish this I tried the following code.

template <class T>
class myclass {

 protected:
 
  T data;

 public:

  myclass(){
    data = 0;
  }

  myclass(const myclass<T> & mc) {
    data = mc.data;
  }

  ~myclass(){};

  myclass & operator=(const myclass<T> & mc) {
    if(this==&mc) return(*this);
    data = mc.data;
    return(*this);
  }

  template<class U>
  myclass<T> & operator+=(const myclass<U> & mc) {
    data += mc.data;
  }

  template<class U> 
  template<class V> 
    friend myclass<U> & myclass<U>::operator+=(const myclass<V> & mc);

};

int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
   
  myclass<float> fmc;
  myclass<double> dmc;
  
  dmc += fmc;
}


I got the following error

test.C:  In function 'int main(int, char**)':
test.C:43: Internal compiler error in retrieve_specialization, at
    cp/pt.c:739
