[Bug c++/29040] New: missing access control checks in subclasses for nested types

[amylaar at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following should not compile:

struct c
{
private:struct n
  {
    int j;
  };
};

struct d:public c
{
  void f (struct n *p);
};

According to 9.2 ; 1, nested types are class members. 11 ; 4 says that member
access control does not affect visibility, only access. If an inaccessible
member name is used, the program is ill-formed.

FWIW, g++ will also accept if you declare a data member of type struct n in d.
