[Bug c++/36499] New: non-compliant behaviour with nested classes

[philippe dot dunski at ibelgique dot com]

First, please excuse me for my poor english.

Actual standard says on section 11.8 Nested classes [class.access.nest]
The members of a nested class have no special access to members of an enclosing
class, nor to classes or
functions that have granted friendship to an enclosing class; the usual access
rules (clause 11) shall be
obeyed. The members of an enclosing class have no special access to members of
a nested class; the usual
access rules (clause 11) shall be obeyed and gives as example
class E {
    int x;
    class B { };
    class I {   
        B b; // error: E::B is private
        int y;
        void f(E* p, int i)
        {
            p->x = i; // error: E::x is private
        }
    };
    int g(I* p)
    {
        return p->y; // error: I::y is private
    }
};

While trying this code, Gcc sees well that I::y is private in the g function,
but doesn't   in the void e::i::f one, nor for the B b declaration.
