Hi,

I have the following code:

namespace X
{
namespace Y
{
namespace Z
{
        struct A { typedef int int_t; };
        struct Z { typedef int int_t; };
}
}
}

using namespace X::Y::Z;

int
main()
{
        Z::A::int_t i = 0;
        Z::Z::int_t j = 0;
        return i == j;
}
Why did g++ look for struct A in struct Z instead of namespace Z?
It looked for struct Z in namespace Z.

Actually it did not look for struct Z in namespace Z.  It found the
constructor Z in struct Z.  Note this is a bug that it found the
constructor as the type, see
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11764 .

Thanks,
