[Bug c++/14463] New: copy constructor access checked when passing reference arg

[arnej at europe dot yahoo-inc dot com]

gcc 3.4 snapshots currently have problems compiling packages like
cppunit.  I just checked snapshot 3.4.0 20040303 (prerelease)
and this problem is still there.
Here's a simplified example of the problem, I hope this i helpful.

// test code

class TestFailure {
private:
  TestFailure(const TestFailure &);
public:
  TestFailure(int *p);
};

void dummy(const TestFailure &failure);

void usingfunc(int *intp) {
  // this:
  { TestFailure foo(intp);
    dummy(foo);
  }
  // should be the same as this
  dummy( TestFailure(intp) );
}

produces this error:

t.cpp: In function `void usingfunc(int*)':
t.cpp:5: error: `TestFailure::TestFailure(const TestFailure&)' is private
t.cpp:18: error: within this context

Full output from gcc -v -c t.cpp:
