And actually I don't even understand why it works even in the reduced testcase :( Anyway, I think there might be a more basic problem here, which simply raises the question how instantiations should work. To explain, I created the following which has *no* includes: template< typename T > struct ptr { typename T::type dummy(); }; template< typename T > struct foo { typedef void type; ptr< foo > p; }; int main() { foo< int > f; // fails without this line ptr< foo< int > > p; } Note that this does *not* depend on c++0x, it shows the exact same problem with "normal" C++. Is the compiler correct to reject the code when the marked line is removed? Guess this needs to be taken to the language lawyers. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39405
