Hello all,

the following code is the essence of a problem, that took me half a
day to find out:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
class A
{
  int B;
};

class B : A
{
  int b;
 public:
  B(int i = 0) { b = i; }
};

B *x = new B(1);
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

gcc said:
test.cc:13: member `B' is private

;-)

PS: sorry for asking the n+1st time: where do i send wishes for
    clearer gcc error msg's?
