Before you create too many of these, the Component for compiler
bugs should be External so we can tell them from bugs in our own
code.

[Linux/gcc] 20.meta.rel.cpp fails is_base_of assertions
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: STDCXX-985
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-985
Project: C++ Standard Library
Issue Type: Bug
Components: TR1.4 - Metaprogramming and Type Traits
Affects Versions: 4.3
Environment: gcc-4.3
Reporter: Travis Vitek
Fix For: 4.3
The {{__is_base_of()}} helper provided with gcc-4.3 doesn't detect
protected and private inheritance as required by the draft standard. It
appears that the helper may be based on an older version of the standard
and needs to be updated. Here is a note from the description of the
{{is_base_of}} trait.
{quote}[Note:Base classes that are private, protected, or ambigious are,
nonetheless, base classes. —end note ]{quote}
This is the gcc description of the helper that they provide..
{quote}__is_base_of (base_type, derived_type)
If base_type is a base class of derived_type ([class.derived]) then the
trait is true, otherwise it is false. Top-level cv qualifications of
base_type and derived_type are ignored. For the purposes of this trait,
a class type is considered is own base. Requires: if __is_class
(base_type) and __is_class (derived_type) are true and base_type and
derived_type are not the same type (disregarding cv-qualifiers),
derived_type shall be a complete type. Diagnostic is produced if this
requirement is not met.{quote}
Since there is no way to detect this from within the library, there
isn't much we can do about fixing it.
