[cfe-dev] Accessing private members through typedefs

[John Thompson]

I have the following:

template <class TYPE> class test;
typedef test<int> testClass;
typedef testClass& refTestClass;
template <typename TYPE> class test
{
public:
 test(refTestClass other);
private:
 int member;
};
template <typename TYPE>
inline test<TYPE>::test(refTestClass other) {
 member = other.member;
}
C:\Sony\Clang\exp>clang -cc1 priv.cpp
priv.cpp:15:17: error: 'member' is a private member of 'test<int>'
        member = other.member;
                       ^
priv.cpp:10:6: note: declared private here
        int member;

Is this a bug or legitimate behavior?

Sorry to bug you with these.  Basically I'm running Clang over a very large
program written by someone else and compiled with gcc.  Is this the
appropriate place for this, or should I just file bugs and let someone
else respond as needed?

-John
