Hello,
I've bumped into the following:
----8<----8<----8<----8<----
class Base
{
static
int foo;
};
#if 0
class Deriv : public Base
{
public:
int Foo() { return foo; }
};
#endif
template<typename T>
class DerivT : public Base
{
public:
int Foo() { return foo; }
};
void bar()
{
DerivT<void> dt;
dt.Foo();
}
----8<----8<----8<----8<----
All versions I've tried (4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7) compiles the code. clang
gives proper diagnostic stating that Base::foo is private.
If base::foo is not static, gcc catches the error, too:
gccacbug.cpp: In member function ‘int DerivT<T>::Foo() [with T = void]’:
gccacbug.cpp:25: instantiated from here
gccacbug.cpp:4: error: ‘int Base::foo’ is private
gccacbug.cpp:19: error: within this context
If I enable the non-templated Deriv class, I get an error (twice):
gccacbug.cpp: In member function ‘int Deriv::Foo()’:
gccacbug.cpp:3:13: error: ‘int Base::foo’ is private
gccacbug.cpp:10:21: error: within this context
gccacbug.cpp:3:13: error: ‘int Base::foo’ is private
gccacbug.cpp:10:21: error: within this context
Searching bugzilla for 'static member access' didn't give any results.
Should I file a bug report?
Regards, Peter
