c++.beta - [bug] DMC 8.49 enum lookup through class derived from template parameter

I believe this lookup should succeed as it does when C explicitly 
derives from B.


C:\code\src\gen\test>type test.cpp
class B
{
protected:
     enum
     {
         ZERO = 0
     };
};


template<class T>
class C : T
{
public:
     C() : val( ZERO ) {}

private:
     int val;
};


void main()
{
     C<B> d;
}

C:\code\src\gen\test>dmc test.cpp
test.cpp(15) : Error: undefined identifier 'ZERO'
test.cpp(26) : Error: expression expected

No, this is a feature (two-phase name lookup) - you can disable this feature with -Ad though. Christof -- http://cmeerw.org sip:cmeerw at cmeerw.org mailto:cmeerw at cmeerw.org xmpp:cmeerw at cmeerw.org

Oops... my actual code was a tad different than what I posted: template<class T> class B {...}; template<class T> class C : B<T> { ... }; But the dependent name lookup rules still obviously apply. Next time I'll spend more time with the spec rather than testing against other compilers... or at least test against Comeau. Thanks! Sean
