    Template parameter is incompatible with the declaration

    Code:
    template<int> class Test2 {};
    template<typename A, template<int> class B, int C> class Test
    {
    	template<typename, template<int> class, int> friend class Test;
    };
    
    void FindFiles(Test<int, Test2, 10> pBuffer = 0);
    Error 1 error C3855: 'Test': template parameter 'B' is incompatible with the declaration
    Error 2 error C3855: 'Test': template parameter 'C' is incompatible with the declaration


    If I change the B and C to typename, it compiles fine, though. Any ideas?

    The only obvious error I can spot with that code, on an admittedly casual look, is that the default value of the argument for FindFiles() is invalid (no obvious conversion of int to Test<int, Test2, 10> ).
    Right 98% of the time, and don't care about the other 3%.

    If I seem grumpy or unhelpful in reply to you, or tell you you need to demonstrate more effort before you can expect help, it is likely you deserve it. Suck it up, Buttercup, and read this, this, and this before posting again.

    Yes, it would cause a compile error admittedly, but regardless of what I put there, and regardless of if it's a valid or invalid default value, the error still occurs.
    If I remove the default value, it compiles.
    I also can't get comeau's online compiler to work...

    Can you provide us with the shortest code snippet that produces this error ;-).

    That is exactly what I gave you. Add int main(), compile, and lo and behold.

    Well, your sample compiles fine for me, -pedantic and -Wall and all. G++ version 4.4.1, ubuntu.
    So I guess your compiler is buggy.

    Just out of interest, what compiler is it?


    Edit:
    Using: Microsoft Windows™ 7 Professional (x64), Microsoft Visual Studio™ 2008 Team System
    That explains it. Guess you're screwed here :P.

    Hrm. Guess I'm going to have to give VS2010 another go.
    EDIT: Buggy as hell as always. Crashes as soon as you try to compile. Still gives the same error, too.

    LOL .
    How can it crash AND produce that error, though? :P

    This code? Nothing.
    The real code? Make all template instantiations friends of each other.

    It has enough time to spit out that error before crashing.
