Hi-

I have the following code, and it makes sense to me that it should
work, but different compilers have different thoughts on the subject.

    class Base { /* ... */ };
    
    class Derived : public Base { /* ... */ };
    
    class Holder
    {
    public:
      Derived _derived;
    };
    
    void f()
    {
      Base Holder::* elt = &Holder::_derived;
    }

I don't have a copy of the standard, but the Dec 96 WP seems to say
nothing about it in either [dcl.mptr] or [conv.mem].

Thanks.
