[Bug c++/42328] New: rejects valid friend

[igodard at pacbell dot net]

This code:

template<typename T, typename U>
class   freeList {
public:
    void foo() {};
    };

class   bar {};

class   baz : protected freeList<bar, baz> {
template<typename T>
friend
void    freeList<T, baz>::foo();
    };
int main() {
    baz b;
    return 0;
    }

gets you:

s3:~/ootbc/personal/ivan$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc:12: error: member ‘void freeList<T, baz>::foo()’ declared as friend
before type ‘freeList<T, baz>’ defined

FWIW, Comeau accepts it.
