Compilation fails because anonymous class constructor formal parameter has inaccessible type

[Georgiy Rakov]

Hi Srikanth,

I'm not Victor :) but anyway I believe yes, this is the same.

BTW: Test18_2.v1 which I passed to the constructor in the example here 
seems to be nonrelevant to the problem. If null is passed compilation 
still fail:

    class Test18_2 {private static class MyClass {}Test18_2(MyClass mc)
    {}}public class Test18 {public static void main(String[] args) {new
    Test18_2(null){};}}

Thanks,
Georgiy.
