APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When compiling with -qtempinc, the compiler emits the following
  error message:
  "tempinc/templ.hpp.C", line 4.29: 1540-0193 (S) A typedef name
  cannot be used in this context.
  xlC_r: 1501-240 (S) Previous errors were found when compiling
  tempinc/templ.hpp.C
  
  ===== COMPILE COMMAND:
  xlC_r -qtempinc foo.cpp -o foo
  
  ===== TESTCASE:
  Note: When you do a new compile, be sure to:
  rm -rf tempinc
  
  $ cat foo.cpp
  #include "templ.hpp"
  #include <stdio.h>
  
  class FooClient {
  public:
  
   FooClient()
   {
     FooTemplate<FILE*> someObj;
     return;
   };
  
  };
  
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
  
    FooClient myObj;
    return 0;
  } /* end of main */
  $
  $ cat templ.cpp
  template <class Type>
  FooTemplate<Type>::FooTemplate() {};
  $
  $ cat templ.hpp
  template <class Type>
  class FooTemplate {
    public:
    FooTemplate();
  
  };
  #pragma implementation("templ.cpp")
  $
  
  ===== ACTUAL OUTPUT:
  "tempinc/templ.hpp.C", line 4.29: 1540-0193 (S) A typedef name
  cannot be used in this context.
  xlC_r: 1501-240 (S) Previous errors were found when compiling
  tempinc/templ.hpp.C
  
  ===== EXPECTED OUTPUT:
  Should compile clean.
  

Local fix

• n/a
  

Problem summary

• Programmers who use -qtempinc maybe affected by this issue.
  
  If, during template instantiation, the
  template parameter is a typedef to an aggregate,
  compilation using -qtempinc fails with a syntax error.
  

Problem conclusion

• The syntax error generated in the
  tempinc file was fixed, thus avoiding the failure in the
  subsequent compilation.
  

Temporary fix
