Can you confirm the following code shows up a bug in VC++ 8 access

Yes, it appears to be a bug. Comeau C++ refuses to compile
the second statement in 'main' as well as the first.
You should report it as a bug to MS, but search the bug database
first to see if there is already one there on access to template
members.
