[Bug c/14876] New: Incorrectly resolved variable scope in initializer

[eckart at icd dot de]

Dear folks,

when compiling the following program:

int A=3;

int f()
{
  int A=A+2;

  return A;
}

it seems as if gcc does not take global 'A' for initialization of local 'A'. The
effect is, that local 'A' is initialized with some arbitrary value, i.e. it
seems to take local 'A' even in the initializer expression. This seems to happen
with a symbol from any outer scope, i.e. not only from an outer global scope as
in this example but with outer compound scopes as well.

Best regards,

Jörg Eckart
