[Bug c++/40750] New: Side-effect of member function call not produced in certain circumstances

[schaub-johannes at web dot de]

GCC mis-compiles the following code for mysterious reasons. While it should
output "called", it outputs nothing at all

// snip
typedef void Fn() const; 

struct Foo { Fn fn; }; 
void Foo::fn() const { std::cout << "called" << std::endl; } 

int main() { Foo f; f.fn(); }
// snap

Any one of the following makes it show "called" properly:

- Adding "inline" function specifier in the declaration of the function at
class or namespace scope.
- Replacing "Fn fn;" by a declaration with a function declarator "void fn()
const;" 
- Making the function non-const (in the typedef and in the definition of the
function).
