        <pre>The following example is compiled by g++ but causes clang compile error. It
seems that after using 'friend' on nested template class compiler ignores
possible class specializations.


.h

#pragma once




template< typename a >

struct friended
{
    template < typename f, typename c >
    struct inside ;
};

class A
{
    public:
    friend friended<A>::inside<A, int>;

    int the_answer()
    {
       return 42;
    }
};

template< typename a >  template< typename b >
struct friended<a>::inside<A, b>
{
    static int get_my_id(  )
    {
        A ap;
        return ap.the_answer();
    }
};


.cpp

#include "template_test.h"
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << friended<A>::inside<A,int>::get_my_id() << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

for the above:
g++ -c -std=c++11 template_test.cpp - compiles just fine


clang++ -c -std=c++11 template_test.cpp gives


bash-4.1$ clang++ -c -std=c++11 template_test.cpp

template_test.cpp:6:31: error: implicit instantiation of undefined template
