Bug#327346: g++-4.0: Internal compiler error in import_export_decl at cp/decl2.c:1741

[Werner Ölz <werner_oelz@hotmail.com>]

Package: g++-4.0
Version: 4.0.1-6
Severity: important


When I compile the following file (definitions.cc):

template < class ELM_T > class b_array
{
 public:
  b_array() {}
};


template < class ELM_T > class bc_array: public b_array< ELM_T >
{
 public:
  bc_array() {}

 protected:
  static ELM_T default_element;
};

template < char > char bc_array< char >::default_element = 0;


I get the following error message:

$ g++ -Wall -c definitions.cc -o definitions.o
definitions.cc:16: internal compiler error: in import_export_decl, at cp/decl2.c:1741

Since an internal error is reported, I guess this is a bug in gcc 4. BTW, the progam
that the above snippet is a part of compiles fine with the debian version of gcc 3.3.
