[Bug c++/15897] New: cannot declare template friend decls of member functions

["thomas dot rudlof at gmx dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

According to ISO/IEC 14882:1998(E) 14.5.3 clause 6, this code should compile:

template<class T> struct A 
{
  void foo();
};

class B
{
  template<class T> void A<T>::foo();
};

But trying so results in:

trudolf-l4:~/c> g++ friend.cc
friend.cc:10: cannot declare member function `A<T>::foo' within `B'
trudolf-l4:~/c> g++ -v
