Hello all

I would like to know if the following incompatibility with C
is intended or not:

dcl.typedef and basic.lookup.elab in CD2 forbid the use of typedef
names following ``class'' and similar keywords.  This means that
the following is ill-formed:

 struct S {};
 typedef struct S T;
 struct T x;   // illegal

The problem is the following C fragment

 typedef struct S S;
 struct S {...};

which I would say is perfectly legal ANSI C, and would be illegal
in C++ bacause the ``S'' in the struct definition is a typedef name...
