85. Redeclaration of member class

Section: 6.5.6  [basic.lookup.elab]     Status: TC1     Submitter: Steve Adamczyk     Date: 25 Jan 1999

In 6.5.6 [basic.lookup.elab] paragraph 3, there is the example

    struct Base {
        // ...
        struct Data { /* ... */ };  // Defines nested Data
        struct Data;                // OK: Redeclares nested Data
    };
The final redeclaration is invalid according to 11.4 [class.mem] paragraph 1 last sentence.

Proposed resolution (10/00): Remove the line

        struct Data;                // OK: Redeclares nested Data
