The inclusion of <string> makes the word `minor' special (g++)?

[Sergey Zaharchenko]

Hello list,

I'm not sure whether it is a bug, or I am overlooking something, but I
have the problem best described by this printout (with and without the
#include):

Script started on Tue Oct  5 16:41:54 2004
$ g++ -v
Using built-in specs.
Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728
$ cat 1.cc
class minor
{
        int i;

public:
        minor():i(0){}
};

int
main(void)
{
}
$ cat 2.cc
#include <string>

class minor
{
        int i;

public:
        minor():i(0){}
};

int
main(void)
{
}
$ g++ 1.cc
$ g++ 2.cc
2.cc:8: error: expected unqualified-id before "int"
2.cc:8: error: expected `)' before "int"
2.cc:8: error: expected `)' before "int"

FWIW, g++ 2.95.4 doesn't barf at any of the sources.

If I change the name `minor' to something else, everything works. But
what if I happen to like the name:)?

Please CC me in any replies.

TIA,
