Mmmh... I was trying some code, and I bumped in a strange behaviour.
The following piece of code compiles normally :
//////// CODE STARTS /////////////////
#include <iostream>
class B {
protected :
enum e { ONE = 1, TWO, THREE};
};
class D : public B {
public :
void f( int = ONE );
};
void
D::f( int a ) {
std::cout << a << ' ' << TWO << ' '
<< THREE << std::endl;
}
int
main() {
D d;
d.f();
}
//////// CODE ENDS ///////////////////
Then, if I "templatize" the code, nothing works anymore:
//////// CODE STARTS /////////////////
#include <iostream>
template <typename T>
class B {
protected :
enum e { ONE = 1, TWO, THREE};
};
template <typename T>
class D : public B<T> {
public :
void f( int = ONE );
};
template <typename T>
void
D<T>::f( int a ) {
std::cout << a << ' ' << TWO << ' '
<< THREE << std::endl;
}
int
main() {
D<bool> d;
d.f();
}
//////// CODE ENDS ///////////////////
Of course, I'm missing a trivial and extremely obvious thing (due to
Murphy's Law), but what?
With templates, the compiler thinks that scope changes when passing
from the base class to the derived one. What really puzzles me is that
no error is shown if I don't use them.
Anyway, I think that the ``correct'' behaviour is the one showed with
the non-templatized classes, so how can I change the code of the
second example in order to make it work?
Thanks for any help,
Matteo
PS : I'm using g++ 3.4.3 3 1763

This is in the FAQ (its a recient change I beleive).

template <typename T> class B { protected : enum e { ONE = 1, TWO, THREE}; };
template <typename T> class D : public B<T> { public : void f( int = ONE );

template <typename T> void D<T>::f( int a ) { std::cout << a << ' ' << TWO << ' ' << THREE << std::endl;
std::cout << a << ' ' << B<T>::TWO << ' ' << B<T>::THREE << std::endl;
}
int main() { D<bool> d; d.f(); }

Names that are dependant on template paramiters can't be looked up
when the template is first parsed, so the extra qualification
is needed.
Also avoid, if at all possible, using all UPPERCASE identifiers
for anything but macro's (#define's), its a rule (convention) that
most c++ programmers follow and it will at some point save you from
some very difficult to find and understand bugs.
HTH.

'ONE' is not found during name lookup because it's a dependent
name and for templates base class scopes are not searched. You
need to qualify that name:
void f(int = B<T>::ONE );
};
template <typename T> void D<T>::f( int a ) { std::cout << a << ' ' << TWO << ' ' << THREE << std::endl;
Same here. 'TWO' and 'THREE' won't be found unless you qualify
them.
}
int main() { D<bool> d; d.f(); }

Base class scope is not searched if it's a dependent type (and in your
case 'Base<T>' depends on 'T'.

I don't understand the last sentence. If you don't use what?

See above.

Templates. Sorry, I ain't a native english speaker and sometimes I mess
up the sentences.
