This problem has been fixed, and should not exist in the next release
of gcc.

> It appears that gcc 2.2.2 is not recognizing
> "const" with "template" properly.

> For example, Listing A (below) produces:
>   > g++ -c testd.cc
>   testd.cc: In function `int  main ()':
>   testd.cc:9: template for method `print' doesn't match any in class `QI<int>'
>   Exit 1

>   > gcc -v
>   Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1/2.2.2/specs
>   gcc version 2.2.2

> But after removing the "const" on line 5 it
> compiles successfully.  My understanding of
> C++, however, is that the "const" is required
> on _both_ the declaration and definition of
> the function (both lines 5 and 18).
> See Lippman, page 231 bottom.

> Also, after removing the template code,
> as in Listing B, it compiles successfully.

> What gives?
> Many thanks for the help ...
