+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #7869 +++
I stumbled over the second issue that the original bug report mentioned. I
think it was closed prematurely.
To clarify this a bit I provide my own short example.
It may be worth noting that comeau online does not produce any errors on this
code, nor does microsofts c++ compiler that comes with visual studio 8.
struct tag{};
struct A {
tag t; // *
typedef int tag;
};
*omit this declaration and everything is fine for g++
error msg on g++3.4.4:
error: declaration of `typedef int A::tag'
error: changes meaning of `tag' from `struct tag'
Why would the outer tag declaration conflict with the tag declaration in scope
A? This is not an error that I would have expected intuitively which is why I'd
like to bring this up again.
