--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor ---
I'm not 100% sure the code is valid but I can't find anything wrong with it and
I don't think the error message is correct. The type it complains about being
incomplete seems complete to me. I'm going to confirm this with the slightly
reduced test case that should also make clear which type is being instantiated
by which expression. I note that Clang 3.8 does compile it as mentioned,
though EDG eccp does not (though the error it issues suggests it's confused by
the complicated templates).
All recent versions of GCC fail to compile the test case, although 4.9.3 with a
different error: ‘b’ is not a member of ‘C::CC >’.
