No, you can't have templated virtual member functions. Just think about how the vtable should look like if different translation units ask for different instantations of such functions. But if even egcs 2.91.66 does dynamic_cast<> we could probably drop the asFooInset functions in the next cycle and go for straight RTTI... > aleem@pneumon:aleem-> cxx -std strict_ansi -o trial trial.C > cxx: Error: trial.C, line 6: "virtual" is not allowed in a function > template > declaration Exactly.
