The following invalid code is accepted since GCC 3.4.0:
================================================
class A
{
private:
typedef int X;
};
template<int> int foo() { return A::X(); } // A::X is private!
int i=foo<0>();
================================================
If I make foo a non-template function, the code is correctly rejected.
