[Bug c++/32966] New: bad diagnostic

["igodard at pacbell dot net" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

This:
#include    <cstdlib>

class system { system() {} };
int foo(system* p) {}


gets you:
~/ootbc/systemspec/build$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc:4: error: 'p' was not declared in this scope
foo.cc:4: error: expected ',' or ';' before '{' token

The problem is that the function int system(...) is in scope so "system" on
line 4 is not recognized as a type and I guess the compiler is trying to parse
it as an expression (with "*" as the multiply operator). However, there's no
language construction "<type> <identifier> (<expression>)" that I know of.
