[Bug c++/24654] New: friend class using plain scope resolution operator

[fmaerten at igeoss dot com]

The following code must now use the plain scope resolution operator in order to
work with gcc4. Is it a regression or a conformance to the specs?


class Initializer ;

namespace NS {
  class A {
    // Now must use ::Initializer with gcc4 in order to compile
    // If not, the following error occurs:
    //   error: 'static void NS::A::initialize()' is private
    //
    // Using Initializer works with gcc 3.4.3
    friend class ::Initializer ;

    static void initialize() {}
  } ;
}

class Initializer {
public:
  static void initialize() { NS::A::initialize() ; }
} ;


int main() {
  Initializer::initialize() ;
  return 0 ;
}
