Summary: Class member lookup ambiguity w/ overloaded static members and using declarations Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: hst...@ca.ibm.com In the test case below, there is a set of overloaded static member functions foo() whose true declarations all come from struct A. While lookup from C would find foo in both B1 and B2, B1::foo refers to the same set of entities as B2::foo. There should be no ambiguity; GCC reports otherwise. The overload candidates for foo should be unambiguously found on the call and overload resolution should determine that foo(void) is being called. I also find it odd that the candidates are listed three times. ### Self-contained source (dataa.cpp): struct A { static int foo(); static int foo(char); }; struct B1 : A { using A::foo; }; struct B2 : A { using A::foo; }; struct C : B1, B2 { }; enum { X = sizeof C::foo() }; ### Command to reproduce: g++ -c dataa.cpp ### Compiler output: dataa.cpp:11:19: error: reference to 'foo' is ambiguous dataa.cpp:3:15: error: candidates are: static int A::foo(char) dataa.cpp:2:15: error: static int A::foo() dataa.cpp:2:15: error: static int A::foo() dataa.cpp:3:15: error: static int A::foo(char) dataa.cpp:2:15: error: static int A::foo() dataa.cpp:3:15: error: static int A::foo(char) ### g++ -v output: Using built-in specs.
