[Bug c++/52965] New: c++11 - subclass is private, but g++ ignores access modifier when using auto

 Bug #: 52965
   Summary: c++11 - subclass is private, but g++ ignores access
modifier when using auto
Classification: Unclassified
   Product: gcc
   Version: 4.6.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: P3
 Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: jwcac...@yahoo.com


/*
   Is this a bug, that g++ ignores the private access modifier when using "auto
type deduction"?
   Compile with g++ -std=c++0x private_access.cpp
 vs g++ -std=c++0x private_access.cpp -DUSE_AUTO

   This seems similar to bug 52816
*/

class C
{
private:
   class PVT { };
public:
   PVT p() { return PVT(); };
};

int main(int, char*[])
{
   C c;
#ifdef USE_AUTO
   auto p = c.p();  // why does this work (in c++11)
#else
   C::PVT p = c.p();// but this reports that C::PVT is private?
#endif
   return 0;
};
