 | I think this is a bug in g++; but there is always the possibility that it is a bug in my understanding of C++. In the following code gcc assumes that the variable i at the end of function is the same as in the for loop and produces the following error:
 | nstest.cc: In function `void f()':
 | nstest.cc:9: error: name lookup of `i' changed for new ISO `for' scoping
 | nstest.cc:6: error:   using obsolete binding at `i'
 
 That is a bug in the compiler.
 
 The compiler should first look into X before complaining.
