            Bug ID: 59766
           Summary: c++1y: declaring friend function with 'auto' return
                    type deduction is rejected with bogus reason
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: mizvekov at gmail dot com

Simple example showing the problem:

struct foo {
    friend auto test(const foo &) { return 0; }
};

g++ rejects this with:

test.cc:2:30: error: non-static data member declared ‘auto’
  friend auto test(const foo &) { return 0; }
