>Description:
// code
struct A;
int main() {
    struct ::A {
        A() {}
    };
    return 0;
}
// end code

when this is compiled with:

 $ g++ main.cpp

the following error is given:

main.cpp: In constructor `A::A()':
main.cpp:6: internal error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions.

whereas the following compiles fine:

// code
struct A;
int main() {
    struct ::A {
        A();
    };
    return 0;
}
// end code
