[Bug c++/39770] New: Function template can find a struct in same namespace/other namespace but not inside a function

[mlybbert at users dot sourceforge dot net]

The following code does not compile ( error: no matching function for call to
`::A::print(main()::B&) ):

#include 

namespace {
struct A {
template void print(C c)
{
c.print();
}
};

}

int main()
{
A a;
struct B {
void print()
{
std::cout << "whee!";
}
};
B b;
a.print(b);
}

However, defining B in the same namespace as A, in a different namespace, or
even in the global namespace compiles and works as expected.  I don't know the
standard well enough to say if this is correct behavior, but it seems like an
odd rule.
