In my efforts to make boost.test compile with tru64cxx65 I came about the following issue.
Currently, class fixed_mapping contains a private member called elem_type which is later on used in the inline definition of an operator() contained in two inline structs.
class fixed_mapping { typedef ... elem_type;
struct p1 : public ... { bool operator()(elem_type const &x, ...) { ... } } };
My compiler complains that elem_type is inaccessible in the definition of operator() and I think it is right to complain.
There's a defect report about this. The proposed resolution says that nested classes should have the same access rights as member functions, but it hasn't been approved yet IIRC.
