Re: Question about use os ITL on gcc 4.0.2

Hi Yannick and everybody else having trouble with ITL on gcc 4.0,

I put today a slightly changed version of itl.h on the web (cf.  
download -> bug fixes). My impression is that all problems appear in  
this file. Let me know if I am wrong. In this case, I will put a  
patch on the web.

Although most of you already realized gcc is much stricter than other  
compilers, especially by accessing members of templated base classes.  
The best way to handle this is to precede each base class type with  
typename and each base class function or variable with this->.

There is not much work going on with ITL at the moment (which will  
change in the future), however, compilability with gcc 4.0 is not  
such a hard problem and if anybody has trouble to report or some  
patches to contribute, I will be happy to take care of.

Merry Christmas,

Peter
