Re: VC8 template base class member function visibility bug

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks for looking at this. To be honest, I don't understand the
snippet from the standard even after reading it multiple times. I got
access to two more compilers: GCC 4.1 doesn't compile it as well:
"template class used without template parameters". But the Intel 10.0
compiler compiles it without complaining, and executes the line in
question as if it was "BaseTemplate<unsigned>::test(123);".
So maybe the VC8 is right in compiling this, but the compilation
result is definitely wrong, since it modifies unrelated data.

Greetings, Max
