No, to 2 elements, the original instantiation, and the recursive instantiation. /home/manuel/src/pr9335.C:2:36: error: template instantiation depth exceeds maximum of 1024 (use -ftemplate-depth= to increase the maximum) instantiating �struct X<-0x00000000000000018>� /home/manuel/src/pr9335.C:2:36: recursively instantiated from �const int X<1000>::value� /home/manuel/src/pr9335.C:4:17: instantiated from here > I think the previous change to skip all but 10 is good enough. Well, the patch is mostly done, it reduces the output from 11 to 1 lines and it neatly points out where is the recursive instantiation. So I hope you may reconsider, unless you think the 101 lines are useful to the user somehow. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9335
