Actually any compiler that doesn't support C++11 won't compile that code as the C++03 standard says that ">>" should be seen as the right shift operator, or an overloaded operator. So that's nothing wrong with the PS3 compiler there as they have said that they will never support C++11 for PS3.

That's weird. I haven't used C++ in years, long before C++11 was supported in compilers, but I never had trouble embedding templates inside templates without that extra space. Compiled code both with Microsoft's compilers and gcc back then.

MS intentionally violated that standard for this reason.

In gcc as well, though?
