No, your program should not compile since both "x"'s are declared
within the same scope. In the actual example, the enum declaration has
local scope (hence the surrounding brackets).

A comparable example would be:

    const int x = 12;

    int main()
    {
        enum { x = x };
    }

The enum is supposed to be in a nested scope.
Try the following:

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   const int x = 12;
   { enum { x = x }; }
   return 0;
}

Note the braces round the enum declaration.

Hi,

3.3.1/3 has an example which does not compile on gcc 4.1.1.

Is it meant to compile?

const int x = 12;
enum { x = x };
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  return 0;
}

test.cpp:4: error: 'x' redeclared as different kind of symbol
test.cpp:3: error: previous declaration of 'const int x'

Thanks,
