You reported a bug, but it was invalid, so it doesn't belong in this bugzilla. Whether you know a workaround or not is irrelevant. You have not found a bug in the compiler. Figuring out what's wrong with your code and fixing it is your job, not GCC's. "Resolved - Invalid" means it's not a valid bug report, it doesn't mean "We have analysed the user's code and shown how to fix it" > I am using G++ and do not see a reason why another > compiler should be able to make ClassB a friend of ClassA. Other compilers don't accept your code either, because it's wrong. However, I have given you a workaround that makes classB a friend of classA, so you should be happy now, right?
