>Description:
sizeof applied to a member of a nested class doesn't compile.
The diagnostics is different depending on whether sizeof appears in a
member function of the enclosing class or in a global function, but
seems to be invalid in either case.
>How-To-Repeat:
class foo {
public:
  class bar {
  public:
    int z;
  };
  void y();
};

void foo::y()
{
  int i = sizeof(foo::bar::z);
}
void y()
{
  int i = sizeof(foo::bar::z);
}
