ac++ is still not able to parse the STL header files that come with g++ 
3.x. I am optimistic that we can fix at least most of these problems 
during this month (until release 0.8 - not in pre1).

The g++ 2.9x headers can be parsed with only very few exceptions. Maybe 
it helps in your case to install the g++ 2.9x header files somewhere on 
your machine and configure ac++ in your config file to use the old 
headers while your C++ compiler uses the 3.x headers, of course.

Concerning templates you are right. Currently ac++ can neither weave in 
templates nor weave advice for calls to template functions or members of 
template classes. This will be the next major step forward after dealing 
with the g++ 3.x STL header files.

Regards,

Olaf
