They had local mods, but none that should have caused a difference in this regard.) FYI, clang C++ front-end flags an error as expected: devtools/cpp_tests/x.cc:22:24: error: 'APrivateMethod' is a private member of 'A' void (A::*fn)() = &A::APrivateMethod; ^ devtools/cpp_tests/x.cc:8:7: note: declared private here void APrivateMethod() { } ^ 1 error generated.
