Ok, SP 4 indeed fixed this problem, but in initial Version of VC 6

the following code, didn't work

class MyClass: public MyClassT<vector <int> >
{
public:
// with any number of spaces on the next line.
MyClass(int i): MyClassT<vector <int> > (i)
{...}
};

And this has nothing to do with standard.

Don't worry be happy, Michael

Note that the latest patch for VC6 is SP5

Your problem had to do with a broken compiler.

But we do use the standard to determine code correctness.
We obviously can't use a compiler, because, as you've seen,
sometimes they're broken. (Look up "quality of implementation" ).

You are right, but I was talking about concrete problem that was in VC 6
and not about the standard.
Thats all.

BTW does somebody knows how to determine what SP of VC is installed.
In Help->About this information doesn't appear.

Most likely you have an error in one of the header files or
declarations you are including before line 135 that you have omitted,
for example defining a class or an enum without putting a semicolon
after it.

Right, you were dealing with a compiler problem, not a language issue.
Of course, it took asking here to determine that (iow you needed to
know if the compiler was implementing the language correctly). But
once that has been determined (compiler problem), that makes your issue
off-topic here.

You're asking another OFF TOPIC question. We discuss ONLY the (ISO)
standard) language here.

Ask about Visual C++ in Visual C++ newsgroups. You can find them
by visiting www.msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups

From a recent vc++6 project of mine.

std::vector< std::vector<Bea tErrorData> > m_SubbandBPMSco res;

No Error. Maybe you need a service pack or 3?
