>Description:

The following code compiles and links, and it seems that it shouldn't:

bug.cxx:
-----------------------------------
#include <iostream>

struct A {
    static void foo();
};

void
A::A::A::A::A::A::A::A::foo()
{
    std::cerr << "A::A::A::A::A::A::A::A::foo" << std::endl;
}

int
main()
{
    A::A::foo();
    return 1;
}
-----------------------------------

Synopsis: Duplicate use of class name is ignored

State-Changed-From-To: analyzed->closed
State-Changed-By: lerdsuwa
State-Changed-When: Thu Mar  6 15:00:40 2003
State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug.  Inside the scope of class 'A', the name 'A' is introduced to refer to the class itself.  So 'A::A' (the name 'A' inside class 'A') is equivalent to 'A' and so on.
