>Description:
the use of friend has a bug, we cannot use anymore
a predefined type using typedef

  typedef CCOMptr<const MyClass> ptr;
  friend ptr;


>How-To-Repeat:
just try to compile using
gcc test.cpp
>Fix:
just replace ptr in the friend definition :
  typedef CCOMptr<const MyClass> ptr;
  friend ptr;
=>
  typedef CCOMptr<const MyClass> ptr;
  friend CCOMptr<const MyClass>;
