        <pre>I haven't exactly checked it with the standard but the following example
compiles with clang prior to 3.7, all gcc at least since 4.8, msvc 2015.
With clang 3.8 it fails with:

main.cpp:6:30: error: no type named 'NOT_EXISTING_CLASS_NAME' in
'some_spec<int>'
  using ttt = typename Spec::NOT_EXISTING_CLASS_NAME;
              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Could be fixed with removing
template <class RealType>
friend struct internal_class_template;
or moving internal_class_template definition higher.

This is minimized example from my actual code, so this friend declaration may
not look very rational.

#include <type_traits>

template <class Spec, typename = void>
struct C
{
  using ttt = typename Spec::NOT_EXISTING_CLASS_NAME;
};

template <class Spec>
struct C<Spec, typename std::enable_if<std::is_object<typename Spec::template
internal_class_template<int>>::value>::type>
{
};

template <typename FuncType>
struct some_spec
{
  template <class RealType>
  struct internal_class_template;

  struct internal_class
  {
  private:
    template <class RealType>
    friend struct internal_class_template;
  };

  template <class RealType>
  struct internal_class_template
  {
  };
};

int main ()
{
    C<some_spec<int>> xx {}; (void) (xx);
}</pre>
