[Bug c++/30390] New: cannot declare friend class of the parameter type in a template class

[gzljg at hotmail dot com]

class R{}; 
class B{
   friend class R;    // ok.
};

template <typename T> class A{
  friend class T;     // error???
};

when using g++(3.3.3 or 4.1) to compile above code, it reports:
error: using template type parameter 'T' after 'class'
error: friend declaration does not name a class or function

Pls note that, SunCC works fine for above code.
