I don't see any problem with code except missing ';' after class

If I put missing ';' after class definitions class A { ....   };  and 
remove garbage text between classes (better use comments inside code 
snippets) then both classes compiles OK for me with all versions of GCC I 
was able to test (2.7.2.1, 2.8.0, 2.8.1, egcs 1.01). So there is no 
problem with it.

Workaround is not neaded. It compiles OK also without it (at least for me)
