[Bug c++/31454] New: "protected" protects againt derived class

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

The code:
struct base {
protected:
    virtual void foo() {}
    };

struct der : public base {
    virtual void foo() { p->foo(); }
    base* p;
    };

gets you:
~/ootbc/sim/test$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc: In member function 'virtual void der::foo()':
foo.cc:3: error: 'virtual void base::foo()' is protected
foo.cc:7: error: within this context
