Bug #: 56904 Summary: rejection of legal code in c++11 mode. (maybe namespace lookup problem) Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: dirk.bonekaem...@dfs.de Created attachment 29849 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=29849 preprocessed c++ souce for bug report Problem appears only with -std=c++11. If I remove the global scope operator from the ::n::S::foo definition, it compiles. c++ -v -save-temps -std=c++11 -c gcc-4-8-0-namespace-problem.cc Using built-in specs.
