Here's a slightly smaller version:
-----------------
struct A {};
struct B : private A {};
B *p = static_cast<B*>((A*)0);
-----------------
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.2.3/bin/c++ -c x.cc
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.4*/bin/c++ -c x.cc
x.cc:4: error: `A' is an inaccessible base of `B'
The code is rejected at least since gcc3.3.4pre. I must admit that I don't
know right away whether the code is legal -- icc for one accepts it -- though
I could think of arguments why it shouldn't be.
