------- Comment #7 from drow at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-07-23 19:55 -------
grokvardecl uses a NULL scope to indicate the current scope, and current_scope
never returns NULL. It used to, before revision 89627, but then grokvardecl
explicitly tried current_namespace.
This patch instituted the NULL context for globals, presumably:
1998-06-24 Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Set DECL_CONTEXT for globals to NULL_TREE instead of global_namespace.
It did so by introducing FROB_CONTEXT. Right now, FROB_CONTEXT is used at a
number of places which set DECL_CONTEXT, but not at a number of others (13
with, 55 without). Some of those without obviously don't need it. Others are
less clear. But after going through them all, I think only two need it. The
obvious patch works for my testcase. I will regression test it more
thoroughly.
