Excuse me? The behaviour mandated by the C++ standard is that if there is no declaration for type A in the innermost enclosing namespace then an implicit one is added -- because A is used unqualified. In particular, the global A should not be found. Thus the code is ill-formed. The PR should be closed as invalid. -- Gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19403
