enum crap {
foo = 1
};
class foo {
};
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
foo *a=new foo;
}
results in
test.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
test.cpp:10: error: 'a' was not declared in this scope
test.cpp:10: error: expected type-specifier before 'foo'
test.cpp:10: error: expected `;' before 'foo'
Which does not describe the problem very well.
It would be nicer to get
test.cpp:5: error: 'foo' already declared
Or, analogous to another existing warning,
test.cpp:2: warning: declaration of enum value 'foo' shadows class 'foo'
