[Bug c++/22540] New: No access to public static members/functions of privately inherited base class

[mdweb at web dot de]

$uname -srm 
Linux 2.6.11.4-21.7-default i686 
 
$tmp/bin/g++ -v 
Using built-in specs. 
Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu 
Configured with: ../gcc/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ 
--prefix=/home/xxx/tmp : (reconfigured) ../gcc/configure

(reconfigured) ../gcc/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/home/xxx/tmp 
Thread model: posix 
gcc version 4.1.0 20050717 (experimental) 
 
The following code is rejected: 
 
class A 
{ 
public: 
    static void foo() {} 
    static int i; 
}; 
 
class B : private A 
{ 
}; 
 
class C : public B 
{ 
public: 
    void foo2() 
    { 
        A::foo(); // line 18 
 
        int c=A::i; // line 20 
    } 
}; 
 
Compilation with g++ -c test.cpp yields 
 
test.cpp: In member function ‘void C::foo2()’: 
test.cpp:3: error: ‘class A’ is inaccessible 
test.cpp:18: error: within this context 
test.cpp:3: error: ‘class A’ is inaccessible 
test.cpp:20: error: within this context 
 
Making C inherit directly from A works, though (i.e., Class C : private A). 
 
Also, g++ 3.3.4 and 3.3.5 did accept the code above. 
 
Thanks, 
Michael
