Description Bukola Adeoye 2001-01-09 23:44:47 UTC 
Please take a look at the snippet of code below; which models a code style 
I am trying to port onto RedHat 7.0

class Base
{
public:
  union
  {
Comment 1 Bukola Adeoye 2001-01-09 23:56:46 UTC 
I am sorry about the earlier message, I unwittingly 'committed' my message. 
Herein is the full description of the bug in question:

class Base
{
public:
  union
  {
    int m_i;
  };
};

class Derived : public Base
{
public:
   union
   {
     int m_i;
   };
};

int main ()
{
  return 1;
}

If I run this snippet of code through the above-mentioned compiler, it spewed 
out the error message appended below. As far as I know this code is in 
compliance with ANSI C++ standard, I cant think of any clause being violated. 
Could you please investigate the problem with your latest compiler, thanks.

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2001-01-31 12:49:04 UTC 
I've submitted a patch for this to gcc-patches as
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-01/msg02201.html,
am awaiting approval for this. It will probably make it into the next gcc-c++
rpm.
Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2001-02-05 21:04:26 UTC 
Fixed in gcc-c++-2.96-73 and above.
Comment 4 Bukola Adeoye 2001-02-19 19:47:43 UTC
