Description swoh 2002-09-25 04:36:00 UTC 
The compiler refuses to call a protected constructor of a base class from a member function of a class derived from it.

The compiler output is:

tst.c: In method 'class B * Derived::bad()':
tst.c:10: 'Base::Base(int)' is protected
tst.c:21: within this context
 

NOTE: how can I attach both the .c file and the .ii file through the GNATS interface? The selector allows me only one choice.

Release:
2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)

Environment:
cygwin on win2000

How-To-Repeat:
g++ tst.c

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-Why: not a bug. derived only has access to protected base members
    of the 'this' object. [11.2]/4 && [11.5]
