Hi,

sorry, but this is off-topic here: your problem is not with C++ itself,
but with a particular product from a particular vendor.
The place to talk about this would be bugs.sun.com or sun's forums, not
here.

Having said that, Sun's CC compiler doesn't compile any of my code
either; my bug reports as well as many others about templates are
acknowledged but no solution has been made available.

I'd advise to try another compiler.

Cheers,
F. Beekhof

It seems that in 64-bit addressing model on Sun
unsigned long is not a primitive type (?)
