--- Comment #4 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-11 branch has been updated by Jason Merrill <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:7aa5f05583066f5b3146c999319288631c75597f commit r11-9830-g7aa5f05583066f5b3146c999319288631c75597f Author: Jason Merrill <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Mon Apr 11 13:06:05 2022 -0400 c++: operator new lookup [PR98249] The standard says, as we quote in the comment just above, that if we don't find operator new in the allocated type, it should be looked up in the global scope. This is specifically ::, not just any namespace, and we already give an error for an operator new declared in any other namespace. PR c++/98249 gcc/cp/ChangeLog: * call.c (build_operator_new_call): Just look in ::. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * g++.dg/lookup/new3.C: New test.
