Hi,

   I believe the following is quite erroneous, however, g++ 1.27 accepts
it without complaint:

----------------------------------------
class foo {
public:
   foo () {}   
};

class bar : foo {
   bar() {}
  ~foo() {} // yow, let's define foo's destructor in derived class bar!
};

main () { }
----------------------------------------

CC 1.2.1 obviously complains that ~foo declared in bar is an error!
