The following code, when compiled, generates an error:
------------------------------------------------------
sarkovy:~> cat test.cc
template <typename T>
void x(void)
{
T::t x;
}
int
main(void)
{
return 0;
}
sarkovy:~> g++ test.cc
test.cc: In function 'void x()':
test.cc:4: error: expected `;' before 'x'
------------------------------------------------------
It is assumed that upon template instantiation type T defines 'T::t'.
Obviously, in the example the template is not instantiated at all. I expected
that in this case the template definition would be ignored by the compiler, but
that does not seem to be the case - is this correct?
