Description

The program below reduced from Plum Hall test case lvs07a/t237.dir/_23252Y11.cpp fails to compile with both the head of trunk and stdcxx 4.2.0. It compiles fine with gcc 4.1.2.

$ cat t.cpp && make t
#include <memory>
#include <vector>

template <class T>
struct Allocator: std::allocator<T> {
    T* allocate (unsigned n, const T *p) {
        return std::allocator<T>::allocate (n, p);
    }
};

int main () {
    std::vector<int, Allocator<int> > v (2, 3);
}
