[Bug c++/23842] New: [3.4/4.0/4.1 Regression] Incorrect access control context

[jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org]

struct S;
extern S *p;
template<class T> int f(T*, int y = ((T*)p)->x) {
  return y;
}
struct S {
private:
  int x;
  template<class U> friend int f(U*, int); 
};
int g() {
  return f(p);
}

compiles OK with 3.3, but is rejected by 4.1, 4.0 and 3.4:

t4.cc:8: error: 'int S::x' is private
t4.cc:12: error: within this context

According to Mark: This is a G++ bug.  G++ is apparently performing access
control for the default argument expression for "y" (in the template function
"f") in the context of the instantiation, rather than in the context of the
template function.  See [temp.inst] for details.
