I'm unable to find which wrong-code generation PR was fixed by reading this thread. That applies to any of the two examples I posted. Anyway, as I mentioned: If this broken code was a collateral damage of a really serious bug, then it would be foolish to complain. It's just that I'm having difficulties imagining how accepting a friend declaration as a forward declaration (which by the way worked since at least GCC 2.7.x) can make your code accidentally fire that ballistic rocket. (If it really can, then you're having a truck load of other problems besides code quality.) Saludos -richy. -- Richard B. Kreckel <http://www.ginac.de/~kreckel/>
