[Bug c++/25980] New: Unexpected name conflict between symbols

[dwhorton at gmail dot com]

The following fails to compile, it would appear that symbols from seperate
namespaces are colliding in error:

[dhorton@dev228 tmp]$ cat test2.cpp
namespace ns1 {
    class c {};
    typedef int f;

    static c x;
}

namespace ns2 {
    void f(ns1::c& cc)
    {
    }

    void g()
    {
        f(ns1::x);
    }
}

namespace ns1 {
    class c {};
    typedef int f;

    static c x;
}

namespace ns2 {
    void f(ns1::c& cc)
    {
    }

    void g()
    {
        f(ns1::x);
    }
}
[dhorton@dev228 tmp]$

I don't see why symbols ns1::f and ns2::f are in conflict here, as when f() in
ns2::g is being resolved ns1::f should not be visible, should it?

If the parameter ns1::x is removed from the signature of ns2::f then there is
no error.  It would appear that the ns1 namespace is being opened up as a
result of the parameter.

The online Comeau C/C++ compiler accepts this particular example.
