Bug report

[Shahbaz Yousefi]

Dear sir/madam,
  I'd like to report a bug I encountered some time ago (In SuSE linux 10.0, but the g++ was probably a bit old), I tested it again today with MinGW latest version (in Windows, of course) and I see the problem persists. So I decided I report the bug.
  So, here's the bug:
  If you have a class template of class, say, T, and have a variable inside that is a template variable of the same T. Now suppose you have a function inside the class template which needs a variable of type variable<T>::some_class. Then the variable would be unrecognized by g++ and produces errors.
  Here is a sample code:

#include <iostream>
#include <list>

using namespace std;

template<class T>
class xl
{
public:
    list<T> l;
    void dump()
    {
        for (list<T>::iterator i = l.begin(); i != l.end(); ++i)
            cout << ((i == l.begin())?"":" ") << *i;
    }
};

int main()
{
    xl<char *> x;
    x.l.push_back("Bug!!");
    x.dump();
    cout << endl;
    return 0;
}


  Just changing the T inside the class template to char * for example, will solve the problem. So the error is not related to any part, except what I explained.
  Thank you for your efforts,
  Shahbaz Yousefi
