>Description:
class Foo
{
protected:
    enum {BadName, A, B, C};
};
class BadName : public Foo
{
};
class Toto : public Foo
{
 public:
    Foo* fct() { return new BadName; }
};

$ g++ -Wall foo.cpp
foo.cpp: In member function `Foo* Toto::fct()':
foo.cpp:18: parse error before `;' token
foo.cpp:18: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void

Conflict between ::BadName and BadName in Foo enum. The error message is not really helpful (the enum was deeply hidden in a class hierarchy in my case).
Tested with several 2.95.2, 3.0.x, 3.1.x and 3.2.x versions.
