In D::m(), I call C::C(int). C::C(int) is a protected member of the superclass.
g++ does not allow me to call it. However, I can call C::n(), which is also a
protected member of the superclass. Futhermore, calling either of these in C is
fine, as evidenced by C::m().
Is there a special rule that says you can only call protected superclass
constructors from a constructor? I could not find any documentation that said
that, but I may have missed it.

Protected members are only accessible in derived classes when called through this->,
not for any object. What you try is equivalent to
----------------
class C
{
protected:
void foo();
};
class D : public C
{
void bar ()
{
C c;
c.foo();
}
};
--------------------------------
which fails for the same reason.

I assume the previous comment should be modified to read:
Protected non-static members are ....
as the following works:
--------------
class C
{
protected:
static void foo();
};
class D : public C
{
void bar ()
{
C c;
c.foo();
}
};
