[Bug c++/17177] Can not explicitly call protected superclass constructor in method

Protected members are only accessible in derived classes when called through this->, 
not for any object. What you try is equivalent to 
---------------- 
class C  
{ 
  protected: 
    void foo(); 
}; 
 
class D : public C 
{ 
    void bar () 
      { 
	C c; 
	c.foo(); 
      } 
}; 
-------------------------------- 
which fails for the same reason.
