Using a using-declaration to prevent name hiding.

[Vaughn Cato <vcato at bellsouth dot net>]

The following example from the Dec 1996 C++ Draft does not compile under
egcs 1.1 (egcs-2.91.57):

  struct B {
    void f(char);
    void g(char);
    enum E { e };
    union { int x; };
  };

  struct D : B {
    using B::f;
    void f(int) { f('c'); } // calls B::f(char)
    void g(int) { g('c'); } // recursively calls D::g(int)
  };


It gives the following error:

 cannot adjust access to `void B::f(char)' in `struct D'
    because of local method `void D::f(int)' with same name

This example is from section 7.3.3.3.  The compiler seems to be
conforming to section 7.3.3.1 which states

  ... A name specified in a using-declaration in a class or namespace
scope shall not already be a member of that scope.

There appears to be a conflict between sections 7.3.3.1 and 7.3.3.3, but
the intent as given by the example is that a using-declaration can be
used to prevent the normal name hiding that occurs.

Any comments?
