[Bug c++/14811] New: Invalid granting of access to nested class.

["gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

	Given:

		class outer {
			enum E { foo };
			struct inner {
				E e;	// illegal, but g++ allows it
			};
		};

	g++ fails to reject the code.  The gcc web site at
	<http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#nonbugs_cxx> says in part:

		Defect report 45 clarifies that nested classes
		are members of the class they are nested in,
		and so are granted access to private members of
		that class.

	That statment is wrong.  See the ISO/ANSI C++ standard section
	11.8 example 1:

		The members of a nested class have no special
		access to members of an enclosing class, nor to
		classes or functions that have granted
		friendship to an enclosing class; the usual
		access rules (clause 11) shall be obeyed.
