Bug#198042: function fails to propagate up class tree (template-related, regression)



Package: g++-3.3
Version: 1:3.3-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi all,
I'm trying to build aspseek[1] with gcc3.3, and failing. The problem is
this:
class CPtr<T> {
	doRelease() {
		p->Release();
	}
}
class CStackElem {
	public:
		void Release() { ... }
}
class CSearchExpression : public CStackElem;

The p in CPtr's doRelease is the template given. Now, when running with
CPtr<CSearchExpression> (or CPtr<CWord1> - they're both in the same
boat), Release is allegedly 'undeclared in this context'. It's not
declared up in CSearchExpression (causing a conflict), it's just
undeclared, apparently.

In the sources I have, CPtr::doRelease() is actually CPtr::Release(),
but changing it to doRelease() doesn't help. CPtr does have some
extremely funky operator overloads tho (->, *, etc), so maybe that's
what's causing it. I tried to compress this down to a small testcase,
but unfortunately failed. Myself and Matt Zimmerman tried numerous
methods of squashing this, including declaring Release() explicitly in
CSearchExpression, and more, but failed.

This appears to be a regression, as it builds fine with gcc3.2, and I
can't see how it could be undeclared.

Cheers!
