Hi,  
 
I'm not sure if this is valid C++, but as it used to work and I cannot 
find this change documented in the NEWS file I report it anyway.  
 
Previously, I was able to compile this code: 
 
int selection() { return 1; } 
 
int main() 
{ 
    int selection( selection() ); 
    return selection; 
}; 
 
current mainline (20030812) says: 
 
x.cc: In function `int main()': 
x.cc:5: error: `selection' cannot be used as a function 
 
 
it seems it adds the "selection" to the scope before it finished parsing 
the declaration.
