Hi, there.

Can't I use this declaration successfully?

   class T1 {
   public:
      typedef T1 myclass;
   };

   class T2 {
   public:
      typedef T2 myclass;
   };

   class T3 : public T1, T2 {
   public:
      typedef T3 myclass;
   };

By gcc-2.7.1 this cannot be compiled because of "request for member
`myclass' is ambiguous" on the line "typedef T3 myclass;".

I cannot find description on this matter in DWP.

That code is strictly conforming (i.e. perfectly legal).

This is a bug in gcc.
