            Bug ID: 82347
           Summary: Class Name Injection and Constructor Typenames
           Product: gcc
           Version: 7.0.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: ahuszagh at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

G++ (including 7.01 and 6.3.0) allowing the following code to compile without
any warning, allowing a type alias of the constructor of a class.


Source File
-----------

a.cpp

```
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    using a = typename std::vector<int>::vector;
    std::cout << typeid(a).name() << std::endl;
    return 0;
}
```

(Not applicable?)

Description
-----------

ISO C++ in [class.qual]/2 states that a nested name specifier for the class
specifies the constructor and not the class, and therefore using `typename
x::x` is therefore not standards compliant. More information can be found on
the StackOverflow post I made on the topic:
