Bug ID: 60927 Summary: Ambiguity not caught when name introduced through using-directive conflicts with previously declared entity Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: filip.roseen at gmail dot com Created attachment 32656 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=32656&action=edit testcase.cpp namespace N { namespace A { int x = 1; } } struct A { static int x; }; int main () { using namespace N; A::x = 123; } ---------------------------------------------------- `gcc` accepts the above even though there's an ambiguity between `N::A::x` and `A::x` when referenced as `A::x` in `main`. ------------------------------------------------------ [ note: `gcc` treats the `A::x` as referring to `N::A::x`. ] [ note: `clang` shows the correct behaviour and issues a diagnostic saying that `A::x` is ambiguous. ]
