            Bug ID: 60025
           Summary: Static member of class not found if class name ==
                    namespace name it's defined in
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: ppilar11 at gmail dot com

Consider this definition:

namespace Foo
{
    int x;

    class Foo
    {
        public:
        static int x;
    };

    int Foo::x;
}

and test code in which it's used:

int main()
{
   using namespace Foo;
   Foo::x;
   return 0;
} 

Both gcc 4.7.2 and gcc 4.8.1 accept the above code even though 
Foo::x is ambiguous: could be either a global variable in namespace Foo
or static member of class Foo. Visual C++ 2013 rejects the code with "error
C2872: 'Foo' : ambiguous symbol could be 'Foo' or 'Foo::Foo'", gcc simply
resolves Foo::x to global variable x.

If I comment out the global variable x from namespace definition then 
both gcc 4.7.2 and gcc 4.8.1 reject the code with 
"error: 'x' is not a member of 'Foo'", so they fail to find the static member
of class Foo unless I qualify it as Foo::Foo::x (which should not be necessary
due to "using" directive).

Any feedback? Is it in fact a g++ bug?
