anti-standard code can compile -- about template class

[George2]

Hello everyone,


According to standard, the code should not compile.

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Name-lookup.html

      template <typename T> struct Base {
         int i;
       };
     
       template <typename T> struct Derived : public Base<T> {
         int get_i() { return i; }
       };

But it can compile without any issues in Visual Studio 2008, without any warnings and even if I select disable language extensions to yes.

Any comments? What is wrong?


thanks in advance,
George
