Hi,

This bug appeared after we rearranged some of our template
instantiation code to work around a bug in another compiler.
aCC 6.0 works fine.

Martin

$ cat t.cpp && aCC -c -V t.cpp
template <class T> struct A;

template <class T> void foo ();

template <class T> void foo () { typename A<T>::B b; }

template void foo<int>();

template <class T> struct A { struct B { }; };

aCC: HP ANSI C++ B3910B A.03.63
Error 475: Exact position unknown; near ["t.cpp", line 7]. # Cannot 
generate a specialization of incomplete template struct A<int>.
Error 618: "t.cpp", line 7 # The definition of template foo contains 
typename qualification 'A<T>::B', yet generation of specialization "void 
foo<int>()" implies that 'A<T>' is 'tentative struct A<int>', which is 
incomplete.
    template void foo<int>();
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
