[HTML] Add new C++ access check rules to changes.html (PR 14949)


Hello,

this patch implements PR 14949, which is basically adding a brief documentation
about the change introduced by the fix for PR 11174 (made by Kriang for GCC
3.4.0). Since a fair number of persons submitted an invalid bug about this, I
think it is worth documenting it.

Tested with the validator, OK to commit?

Giovanni Bajo

!  <li>When forming a pointer to member or a pointer to member function,
!  access checks for class visibility (public, protected, private)
!  are now performed using the qualifying scope of the name itself.
!  This is better explained with an example:
!
!  <pre>
!  class A
!  {
!  public:
!    void pub_func(void);
!  protected:
!    void prot_func(void);
!  private:
!    void priv_func(void);
!  };
!
!  class B : public A
!  {
!  public:
!    void foo(void)
!    {
!      &amp;A::pub_func;   // OK, pub_func is accessible through A
!      &amp;A::prot_func;  // error, cannot access prot_func through A
!      &amp;A::priv_func;  // error, cannot access prot_func through A
!
!      &amp;B::pub_func;   // OK, pub_func is accessible through B
!      &amp;B::prot_func;  // OK, can access prot_func through B (within B)
!      &amp;B::priv_func;  // error, cannot access prot_func through B
!    }
!  };</pre></li>
    </ul>
