c++ - template bug

struct A
{
  void f();
  void g();
};

inline void A::f()
{
  S<L<int> > i;
  i.f(0);
}
// Error: ';' expected following '}' of definition of class 'N<int >'

inline void A::g()
{ }

int main()
{
  A a;
  a.f();

  return 0;
}


Occurs when trying to compile Boost's signals library. Workaround is to add
the "missing" ';'.

BTW, should these bug reports be posted here or in c++.beta?


bye, Christof

When I put out the next beta, yes.
