The example was:
#include <cmath>
namespace log
{
static const int a_var = 0;
}
int main()
{}
Fails to compile, due to a conflict between the log function and
namespace log.
So the real problem here, is the manner in which the standard library
imports functions into namespace std with a using directive.
The standard C++ header <cmath> should not specify functions at the
global scope, that interfere with namespace definitions like the one
above.
Can we re-open this defect report as a standard library bug?
