Hi Alexander, > Shouldn't it be clear that I wan't to access class L in > namespace S and not some L of class S in namespace S ? It appears that when you injected the identifiers from namespace S into the global namespace, the ::S::L is ambiguous between namespace S and class S which both are (now) in the global namespace. The compiler is going down the class S path. I think that's a bug. Not that I can cite chapter/verse of ISO 14882, rather I just tested against the EDG front end, and EDG accepted the code. (I have strong confidence that the EDG front end is fully compliant with ISO 14882.) > Any idea besides complaining about why I want to do this at all ? ;) I think you should file a bug. Maybe it will get fixed in GCC 4.4, and if not, probably by 4.5. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html Sincerely, --Eljay
