Bug ID: 71568
Summary: Inexplicable error: "X is inaccessible within this
context" for a public member
Product: gcc
Version: 6.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: richardg.work at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 38717

Demonstration of the error & a possible workaround
The attached 90 line test.cpp fails to compile with an inexplicable error
message : "X is inaccessible within this context". The X is clearly a public
member, so this is not a C++ private memeber issue. Critically, the same code
compiles without issue on the clang compiler (clang 3.7.1)
Note : Compile test.cpp with -std=c++14.
I've seen this error in unrelated template code before, but this time I've been
able to simplify it to a 90 line repro.

Compilation failed
I have a workaround, changing the #if between 0 & 1 toggles the error. But I
don't believe that I've found the root cause of the issue. It would be very
helpful to either diagnose this as a gcc bug, or have gcc provide more
diagnostic information on the root cause.
Thanks
