Sorry, the "according to" is at the wrong place. This should read: Or the other way round: Because the using-declaration for "FooBar" is not inside a class, it cannot be a member-declaration. Therefore "::Foo::Bar" cannot be a class-name according to [7.3.3]/6. Which means it has to be a namespace-name. And that's what GCC's error message says. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25006
