[Bug c++/18733] New: [4.0 Regression] friend rejected

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I don't know if this is valid code or not, to me this looks like valid code but 
I could be wrong.

: Search converges between 2004-07-20-trunk (#491) and 2004-07-21-trunk (#492).

This is reduced from PR 15855:

typedef int GVID;
class VG;
template <class T> struct VDifferential
{
  typedef T Summary;
  Summary summarize(const VG*, GVID, GVID) const;
};
class VG {
    friend class VDifferential<char>;
    friend VDifferential<char>::Summary VDifferential<char>::summarize(const 
VG*, GVID, GVID) const;
};
