Subject: Re: c++/10244: [3.4 regression] In error messages for templates, template type is no longer displayed
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 20:46:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030429204605.14503.qmail@sources.redhat.com> (raw)

Synopsis: [3.4 regression] In error messages for templates, template type is no longer displayed

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: reichelt
State-Changed-When: Tue Apr 29 20:46:04 2003
State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug, IMHO.
    
    It's a consequence of improved two-stage name-lookup.
    Since BOGUS is not a dependant name, the parser can see that this is a bug,
    while parsing the template (a not while instantiating it). As you can see,
    not only the "[with T = int]" is missing, but also the
    "compiler_bug.cc:9:   instantiated from here" line. There is in fact no
    value for T when the error message is issued.
    
    
    On the other hand, if I change the code to
    
    ------------------------------------------
    template <class T> void f(T) { T::BOGUS; }
    int main() { f (1); }
    ------------------------------------------
    
    the compiler has to wait for the instantiation to be able to see that
    BOGUS is really bogus. In this case I get:
    
    bogus.cc: In function `void f(T) [with T = int]':
    bogus.cc:2:   instantiated from here
    bogus.cc:1: error: `int' is not an aggregate type
    
    which does make sense to me.
    
    Regards,
    Volker
