------- Comment #6 from reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-12-26 19:40

To sum things up:
* The code is invalid, i.e. it shouldn't compile.
* GCC up to 4.2.x rejected the code for the wrong reason:
bug.cc:24: error: 'C1' does not name a type
This message is way too late.
GCC should have rejected the declaration of the namespace C1.
* Mainline GCC produces a correct diagnostic:
bug.cc:12: error: 'namespace C1 { }' redeclared as different kind of symbol
bug.cc:2: error: previous declaration of 'class C1'
This is due to the fix mentioned in comment #2, namely for PR 30734,
aka PR 2708. Since this bug wasn't a regression, the fix won't be
backported to current branches.
Although the submitter probably thought of the problem as an rejects-valid
bug, this is really an accepts-invalid bug in the first place.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 30734 ***
