friend template error in gcc 4.1

[abelahcene]

Hi, Is it a bug ??
I tried to compile a cpp program which ran correctly on previous
release (sarge debian, gcc compiler 3 ), it gave errors, for the
declaration (even if I omit the symbols <> )

friend ostream & operator << <> (ostream & os, Vector <T> & tab);

for other declaration ( not friend), the + operator, it works !! here
is a complete example with errors at the compilation step.
If I omit the << operator, the program will run
Thank you for help

NOTE: if I declare size public it works!!!!!



It works on previous compiler

int main(){

Vector <int> v1(3, A), v2(3,B), v3(3);
v3= v1+v2;
cout << "\n first vector is ";
v1.print();
cout << "\n second one is ";
v2.print();
cout << "\n Their sum is " ;
cout << v3;
}
