I am getting an Internal Compiler Error in VC++ 6 with the following code. I'm fairly sure it is well-formed (g++ 3.4.2 compiles it fine). Is there a workaround available?

#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>

class Foo
{
public:
    template <int N>
    static void Test()
    {
        std::cout << N << std::endl;
    }
};

int main()
{
    Foo::Test<5>();  /* I.C.E. here */
}


VC++ v6 is notoriously bad with templates.  You'll be much better off when
you upgrade to the later compiler (7.1 is currently shipping).  For now,
if you can, make this static member non-member but a simple free-standing
function template.
