Bug with namespaces?

[Silver]

Hi!

I just tried to compile this piece of code:

--------------------------------------------
#include <cstdio>

namespace g
{
        int a=1;
}

namespace n1
{
        namespace x
        {
                int a=2;
        }

void doit()
{
        namespace x=::g;
        printf("%i\n",x::a);
}
}

int main()
{
        n1::doit();
}
---------------------------------------------

It resulted in an error message from the assembler. I don't think, that
the assembler should give the user any error messages (exept inline
assembler and so on), because the compiler should always produce correct
assembler code.

Version info:
gcc --version : 3.03
gpp --version : 3.03
as --version : 2.11.2

I'm not quite sure what other info is needed, but if you want any
additional info, just ask.

Thanks for your time
