Peng asked:

    Can somebody
    let me know if the following code can be compiled by a more recent
    version of gcc or some other compiler?

The gcc folks themselves use the EDG front end to check bug reports 
against gcc/g++. The EDG front end is used by Intel's ICC compiler and 
many others. There is a great online service  through which you can try 
your code against this compiler: http://www.comeaucomputing.com/tryitout/

I heavily use this Comeau service, not only for actual gcc bugs (I've 
reported a ton) but also to make progress when the bug is between my 
ears and gcc is not being helpful. The EDG diagnostic quality is way 
beyond gcc - they even do a better job of the cryptic error message 
stacks from template metaprogramming.
