C++ template : OKay for VC2005SP1, gcc bails out !?

Question

Hi,

I'm puzzled here, and kindly request your help. VC2005SP1 swallows this (stripped out) code but gcc 4.0.1 bails out... Please point me the obvious mistake ? TIA!

template<typename BCT, typename UIDT>
class Factory
{
public:
    template<typename CT>
    bool Register(UIDT UniqueID)
    {
     if (UniqueID > 10)
      return(false);

     CreateObject2<BCT, CT>;

     return(true);
    }
};


template <typename MC, typename MT>
class Manager : public Factory<MC, MT>
{
public:
 bool RegisterType(const MT Type, const std::string TypeName)
 {
  return Factory<MC, MT>::Register<MC>(Type); // gcc claims "expected primary-expression before '>' at this point
 }
};

VS is being kind.

return Factory<MC, MT>::template Register<MC>(Type); should work under both compilers.
