>Description:
g++ is not able to compile the following code:

----------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

struct A
{
    int f() {}
};

struct B : A
{
};

int main()
{
    int (A::*pa)() = &A::f;
    int (B::*pb)() = &B::f;

    cout << boolalpha << (pa == pb) << endl;
}
----------------------------------------------------

...but according to ISO (see 5.10/2) this code should compile and result of the pointer comparsion would be 'true'.
