In Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language," section 11.5, the
following example is given:

This is documented in the gcc-3.4 release notes. See http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html scroll down to the C++ section, and then scroll down to the 15th bullet. There is also a pointer to a defect report that makes it clear that your testcase is not valid ISO C++.

You probably want to read the rest of the C++ section in the gcc release notes also. Lots of useful info here.

There is an option -fno-access-control that will make this work, but you are probably better off fixing your code. -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.SpecifixInc.com
