[Bug c++/26078] New: g++ compile error in calling another constructor inside a constructor

[ian dot yanliu at gmail dot com]

---Code---
     1  #include <iostream>
     2  using namespace std;
     3  class tclass {
     4  public:
     5    tclass();
     6    tclass(int);
     7  };
     8  tclass::tclass(int j)
     9  {
    10    cout << j << endl;
    11  }
    12  tclass::tclass()
    13  {
    14    int i ;
    15    i = 90;
   *16    tclass::tclass(i);
    17  }
    18  int main()
    19  {
    20    tclass t;
    21  }

---Compile---
g++ -o tclass tclass.C

---Error Info---
tclass.C: In constructor `tclass::tclass()':
tclass.C:16: conflicting types for `tclass i'
tclass.C:14: previous declaration as `int i'

---Description---
If you change line 16 to cast explicitly the type of i:

tclass::tclass((int)i);

Then there is no problem compiling and linking it. I think g++, inside of
constructor, always assumes implicitly a constructor tclass(tclass&) and
doesn't interpret other constructors with one input parameter correctly. Should
be a easy fix! I tried to compile the original code on VC++ 7.1, there is no
problem, which confirms that this might be a bug in g++.
