Synopsis: namespace handling error across inheritance

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-When: Tue Feb 12 11:52:11 2002
State-Changed-Why:
    not a bug.
    the 'base' part of 'base::foo' is looked up according to
    the rules of [3.4.1]/8. We look in the scope of derived::foo
    then the scope of derived, then the scope of ns::base. In 
    ns:base we find base, via the name injection rule of
    [9]/2.
    
    So either ns::base::foo, or base::foo is acceptable.

>Description:
Hi, 

it seems to me that the attached source file shouldn't 
compile, because the referenced method call is in a different
namespace. 

I've posted the snippet on the mailinglist and all replies to
the posting came to the conclusion that this must be a bug in gcc.
