80. Class members with same name as classSection: 11.4 [class.mem] Status: TC1 Submitter: Jason Merrill Date: 5 Dec 1998Between the May '96 and September '96 working papers, the text in 11.4 [class.mem] paragraph 13:
If T is the name of a class, then each of the following shall have a name different from T:was changed by removing the word 'static'. Looking over the meeting minutes from Stockholm, none of the proposals seem to include this change, which breaks C compatibility and is not mentioned in the compatibility annex. Was this change actually voted in by the committee?
- every static data member of class T;
Specifically, this breaks /usr/include/netinet/in.h under Linux, in which "struct ip_opts" shares its name with one of its members.
Proposed resolution (10/00):
In addition, if class T has a user-declared constructor (11.4.5 [class.ctor] ), every nonstatic data member of class T shall have a name different from T.
