[debian-gcc at lists dot debian dot org]

[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/229088]

seen in 3.3.3 and 3.4 CVS

In this example the error message mentions the wrong namespace: 
 
 
namespace outer { namespace inner { void foo(); } } 
 
void outer::foo() 
{ 
// error: `void outer::foo()' should have been declared inside `outer' 
}

I don't understand this report.  As far as I can tell, the error
message is correct.  You cannot define something as being part of a
namespace (using a qualified-id)  if it wasn't previously declared
there.  You can perfectly have outer::foo and outer::inner::foo.
The compiler is not telepathic.

It is not even a bug.

I had to reread the report but I now agree with Gaby that the error is right and there is no way for 
GCC to read your mind.
