>Description:
The using-declaration in the example below does not change the accessibility of the foo-members as expected. 
According to the ISO-C++ standard (section 7.3.3/14),
"all instances of the name mentioned in a using-declaration shall be accessible". In the example, g++ grants access only to the const version of foo, not to the  mutable variant and thus complains with
  test.C:19: assignment of read-only location.
Another funny thing: changing the declaration order of the
two foo versions in the base class makes the mutable version available and lets g++ compile the code.
g++ 2.95.3 did not have that kind of trouble.
>How-To-Repeat:
class A
{
        public:

        int& foo() { return x; }
        const int& foo() const { return x; }
        int x;
};

class B : private A
{
        public:
        using A::foo;
};

int main()
{
        B b;
        b.foo() = 5;
}
