As usual, a number of alternatives are available: - don't use these two major compilers that don't support your code, or - change your code in a way that is accepted by all compilers. Most likely, not using nested classes will solve the problem. - convince the vendors of the compilers rejecting your code that they are wrong. It appears that this approach has failed so far; you could go on exchanging arguments back and forth; or you could give up and use one of the other two options. Not that this will help you, but I guess you are not looking for help at this point. Regards, Martin --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. To submit articles, try just posting with ] [ your news-reader.
