        <pre>Clang accepts the following code:


struct S
{
    int foo();

    struct nested
    {
        S* outer;

        auto bar() -> decltype(outer->foo());
    };
};


GCC rejects it, with the following errors:

test.cpp:9:37: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct S’
test.cpp:1:8: error: forward declaration of ‘struct S’

The reason for rejecting it is stated in [1]. If that reasoning is sound, then
clang should reject the code as well. If it's not, I'd be curious to hear why.
