>Description:
I think this is a bug in g++; but there is always the possibility that it is a bug in my understanding of C++. In the following code gcc assumes that the variable i at the end of function is the same as in the for loop and produces the following error:
nstest.cc: In function `void f()':
nstest.cc:9: error: name lookup of `i' changed for new ISO `for' scoping
nstest.cc:6: error:   using obsolete binding at `i'

I think it should use the variable i from inside the namespace and quit complaining, but as I said, I may just be misunderstanding C++ arcana.

Here's the sample code...
namespace X {
  int i;
}

void f() {
  for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
    ;
  using namespace X;
  i;
}
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Workaround is to replace "using namespace X" with "using X::i"
