namespace problem

[Stephen Vavasis <vavasis at CS dot Cornell dot EDU>]

Are namespaces fully implemented in egcs-1.1?  The Cygnus webpage states
that they are, but my namespace-test program below does not compile. 
See the lengthy error message.  The program compiles fine under Visual
C++ 5.0 and KCC 3.2f.

Thanks,
Steve Vavasis (vavasis@cs.cornell.edu)


#include <string>

namespace QMG {
  using std::string;
  string foo(char c);
}

QMG::string QMG::foo(char c) {
  char st1[2];
  st1[0] = c;
  st1[1] = 0;
  string s(st1);
  return s;
}
