            Bug ID: 85943

                    variable

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

  Target Milestone: ---

If the accessing function were not a template function, then GCC correctly
prevents the private access.

If the private member was a function instead of a variable, then GCC correctly
prevents the private access, but only upon instantiation.

Note: in all of these cases, clang will not compile, regardless of whether
there's been an instantiation of the template.
