2.95.2 namespace bug persists

[Raymond Nijssen]

Dear gcc maintainers,

The following bug that crept in sometime after 2.8.1 has existed in all
2.95  versions so far:


41[linux1:]~/src/test> cat namescope.cxx

class A {
public:
        class B;
        class C;
};

class A::B {
};

class A::C {
        class D;
};

class A::C::D {
public:
        B* foo();         //   gcc-2.95.*  fails to see that A::B  is
declared in this context
};



42[linux1:]~/src/test> /usr/local/gcc-2.95.2/bin/g++ -v namescope.cxx
