What is the meaning of this 'missing template arguments' C++ error

Ahh, C++ templates...

The code I see,

makes sense to me,

but GCC...

it disagrees.

The following code compiles and runs as expected, but if you uncomment that #define, you get the error, which I don't understand. The symbol iterator still has only one thing it can refer to: the typedef in the superclass. So I guess I have two questions: 1. What do the errors mean? 2. What is the best way to fix them.

#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <cstdio>

using namespace std;

// #define WITH_TEMPLATE 1

#ifdef WITH_TEMPLATE
template <class C>
struct MyClass : public map<string, C>
#else
struct MyClass : public map<string, int>
#endif
{
    bool haskey(const string &s)
    {
        iterator it = find(s);
        return (it != end());
    }
};

int main()
{
#ifdef WITH_TEMPLATE
    MyClass<int> m;
#else
    MyClass m;
#endif
    m["test"] = 10;    
    printf("%d %d\n", m.haskey("test"), m.haskey("no"));
}

Errors from GCC:

temp.cc: In member function ‘bool MyClass::haskey(const std::st开发者_如何学Cring&)’:

temp.cc:18: error: missing template arguments before ‘it’

temp.cc:18: error: expected `;' before ‘it’

temp.cc:19: error: ‘it’ was not declared in this scope

temp.cc:19: error: there are no arguments to ‘end’ that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of ‘end’ must be available

temp.cc:19: error: (if you use ‘-fpermissive’, G++ will accept your code, but allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated)

You need to change your MyClass::haskey method too.

bool haskey(const string &s)
{
    typename MyClass<C>::iterator it = this->find(s);
    return (it != this->end());
}

Explanation of such a behavior is in section "Name lookup, templates, and accessing members of base classes" on http://physics.ucsd.edu/students/courses/winter2008/physics141/manuals/rhel-gcc-en-4/c---misunderstandings.html (link from another answer's comment, just in case).

Whole fixed example code: http://ideone.com/G7Rty

iterator it = find(s);
return (it != end());

This line should be as,

#ifdef WITH_TEMPLATE
           typename map<string, C>::iterator it = this->find(s);
           return (it != this->end()); 
#else
           map<string, int>::iterator it = find(s);
           return (it != end());
#endif
