gcc error: extra qualification 'X::' on member

[Schüle Daniel]

hello all,

I couldn't find better subject
in last 2 days I had 2 broken builds

I was compiling astyle http://astyle.sourceforge.net/
and boehm gc http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/
from sources

and both make breaked with error
error: extra qualification 'X::' on member 'bar'
(X and bar my names)

after I edited both files make could end successfully
this example is a simple reproduction of this behaviour

cat broken.cpp
#include <iostream>

struct X {
void foo(){}
void X::bar(){} // this line
};

int main(){
return 0;
}


Since I am using newest gcc 4.1.1 I was wondering
whether the above code was accepted by previous
gcc versions (3.4 and earlier) and who is right?

Regards, Daniel

Works for me with gcc 3.2.3.

But it's not legal C++, so this bug has been fixed in later
g++ versions apparently.
