Test code to reproduce the issue

The following code compiles with Clang bundled with Xcode 5.0 but produces an
error with Clang trunk:


#include <stdio.h>

namespace MyNamespace
{
    class MyClass
    {
    public:
        MyClass() { }
        ~MyClass() { }
    };
}

class MyNamespace::MyClass;

int main()
{
    fprintf(stderr, "Test code to reproduce an issue when compiling with Clang
trunk\n");
    return 0;
}


When compiling this file by performing the command
clang -o test test.cpp

you will see the error:

test.cpp:14:7: error: forward declaration of class cannot have a nested name
specifier
class MyNamespace::MyClass;</pre>
