[GCC-XML] methods on structs? possible misunderstanding of templated functions...

[John Morrison]

Hi;

Short Version: I am getting a "method" for a "struct" (instead of a
class) defined by the STL.  Is this expected behavior (i.e., do I
misunderstand the meaning of "method" -- e.g., a templated function is
a method rather than a function)?

Longer Version, with smallest test case I can find: When I do this --

[jm at jmorrison GCCXML]$ gccxml -I/usr/include/g++-3/ 
-fxml=bastring.xml /usr/include/g++-3/std/bastring.h
[jm at jmorrison GCCXML]$ 

-- cut here ---

I get these two lines in my resultant xml file -- the first is the
"method," and the second is the context, which I take it is a struct
rather than a class (that's my confusion, and it creates uncertainty
in my mind as to how to wrap the function)...

Environment:
 FC2.0
 GCC-XML version 0.7.0 (from CVS)
 gcc-3.3.3-7
 compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.126

Confusedly Yours,

tractable example)
