Bug ID: 84586 Summary: Incorrect acess checking with inheritance Product: gcc Version: 6.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: dllmain at yandex dot ru Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 43516 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=43516&action=edit preprocessed source(in version which cause error) Consider the code: #include <tuple> #ifdef USING_SIMPLE_BASE #define BASE base<T> #else #ifdef USING_DIFFERENT_NAME #define NAME type_ #else #define NAME type #endif #define BASE tuple_element_t<0,std::tuple<base<T>>> #endif //Simple trait for replacement of nested name template<std::size_t I, typename T> struct tuple_element :private std::tuple_element<I,T>::type { using NAME = typename std::tuple_element<I,T>::type; }; template<std::size_t I, typename T> using tuple_element_t = typename tuple_element<I,T>::NAME; template<typename> struct base { protected: using type = int; }; template<typename T> struct derived :private BASE { using BASE::type; }; int main() { return derived<int>::type(0); } It fails to compile until 'USING_SIMPLE_BASE' or 'USING_DIFFERENT_NAME' macros would be defined: $ g++ -xc++ -std=c++14 -pedantic-errors -DUSING_SIMPLE_BASE -o/dev/null test.cxx $ #build success $ g++ -xc++ -std=c++14 -pedantic-errors -DUSING_DIFFERENT_NAME -o/dev/null test.cxx $ #build success $ g++ -xc++ -std=c++14 -pedantic-errors -o/dev/null test.cxx test.cxx: In function 'int main()': test.cxx:27:35: error: 'using type = int' is protected within this context int main() { return derived<int>::type(0); } ^~~~ test.cxx:23:61: note: declared protected here template<typename> struct base { protected: using type = int; }; ^ In all cases 'derived' inherits 'base', so 'base::type' is available in context of 'derived' class. Using declaration in public section of 'derived' do 'derived<>::type' available in global context. However, g++ not accepts all variants of code. $ g++ -v Using built-in specs.
