>Description:
GCC suggested I submitted a bug report when trying to compile the following code:

namespace A { const int i = 1; }
class A { const int i; };
::A:i = 2;

The error message is:
bug.cc:3: `A' as declarator

It is worth mentioning that the code is completely ill-formed ;-)
>How-To-Repeat:
Copy and paste the 3 lines of code from description above to, say, bug.cc . Run gcc bug.cc .
