[Bug c++/25637] New: [3.4/4.0/4.1/4.2 regression] Member definition in wrong scope accepted

[reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The following two invalid code snippets are accepted by the C++ frontend
(the members of A cannot be defined in B):

===============================================
struct A { void foo(); };

struct B { friend void A::foo() {} };
===============================================

===============================================
struct A { A(); };

struct B { friend A::A() {} };
===============================================

Since the second code snippet was rejected in GCC 3.2.x and 3.3.x
(although with a bogus error message) this is regression.
