The following test, when compiled with G++ 1.35.0.0/sun3 generates
no errors.  I believe that an error should be generated on the
line indicated.  This would be in keeping with general philosophy
that says that private data members may only be accessed (i.e. read/written)
by member functions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Check that initialization of private data members is illegal
// except via the use of an explicit constructor.

class friendly;

class base {
	int data_member_1;			// private data member
public:
	int data_member_2;
	friend class friendly;			// prevent warnings
	void function_member ();
};

void test ()
{
	base object = { 3, 5 };			// ERROR

	object.function_member ();		// prevent warnings
}
