I believe the following is legal:

   inline void foo();
   class X {
      friend void foo();
   };
   main() { foo(); return 0; }
   inline void foo() {}

, but is 'inline' allowed in a friend declaration?

   class X {
      inline friend void foo();  // is 'inline' legal?
   };
   main() { foo(); return 0; }
   inline void foo() {}

BC++ 3.1 says no, but I think it's a compiler bug.  cfront and others
apparently allow it.  Can someone who is good with grammars confirm
this bug, please?  Post or e-mail and I'll post.

Thanks, Jamshid Afshar
