>Description:
The below testcase:
---------- snip -------------
/* Per 11.4 #5 an inline friend declared function
   has access to class members.  */
void f();
struct X
{
  enum { k = 1 };
  friend void f() {
        char a[k];
  }
};
------------- snap ----------

compiled with either version of 3.3 and HEAD gives the error:
  bla.cc:8:error: `k' undeclared (first use this function)

Per 11.4 #5 the inline defined friend f() of X has access to the members of X.
So this is conforming code, but not accepted.
GCC 3.2 did compile this.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile the above snippet.
