Then again, the following compiles with VC7.1, so maybe there is hope after all :)

Wow...

The reason it compiles is that you are using "class" where I used "typename". The following does not work:

template<typename A0> void deduce_container(*typename* std::_Tree<A0>::iterator) { std::cout << "map" << "\n"; }

I don't think this is a legal standard usage, though... Probably a Microsoft - specific "feature"... Any comments from language experts? Should the following work according to the Standard?

This is definitely a compiler bug, not a feature. -- Jason Shirk VC++ Compiler Team
