Hi,

The following declaration (inside the Matrix class) is fine (according
to g++2.8.0.

  friend Matrix<T> operator+ <>(const Matrix<T>&,
    const Matrix<T>&);

This one isn't

  friend Matrix<T> comm <>(const Matrix<T>& ,
      const Matrix<T>& );


I'm stumped. Is this a bug or am I missing something ?

Thanks

Phil

[friend comm<>(...)]

Probably because some template operator+ that matches your declaration
was declared before, but no template function comm was.
