>Description:
I think I reported this bug against 2.95.2 but I can't find
the PR. In any case, it's been discussed (*) on the core
reflector [ mailto:c++std-core@research.att.com ] and the
opinion seems to be that the the test case is legal. If
you disagree you may want to reopen the discussion and/or
file an issue (I don't think one has been filed).

Thanks
Martin

>How-To-Repeat:
$ cat t.cpp ; g++ t.cpp
template <class T> struct S;

template <class T>
struct S<T*>
{
    struct X {
        friend struct S;
    };
};

int main ()
{
    S<int*>::X x;
}

t.cpp:7: partial specialization `S<T*>' declared `friend'
