1075. Grammar does not allow template alias in type-name

[Voted into the WP at the November, 2010 meeting.]

According to 13.3 [temp.names] paragraph 7,

A template-id that names a template alias specialization is a type-name.

However, the grammar for type-name in 9.2.9.3 [dcl.type.simple] does not include a production for simple-template-id.

Proposed resolution (September, 2010):

Change the definition of type-name in 9.2.9.3 [dcl.type.simple] paragraph 1 as follows:

type-name:
class-name
enum-name
typedef-name
simple-template-id
