           Summary: clang: wrong scoping: refuses to compile global variable
                    name same as local variable name
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Semantic Analyzer
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

$ clang testcase-min.i
testcase-min.i:4:12: error: redefinition of 'index' as different kind of symbol
static int index[8];
           ^
testcase-min.i:2:9: note: previous definition is here
    int index = bar();
        ^
2 diagnostics generated.


testcase-min.i:
static void foo () {
    int index = bar();
}
static int index[8];


gcc compiles this code fine, and if I move the 'static int index[8]' before
foo(), then clang compiles it as well.

Why does clang still see the definition of the local index variable at the time
the global index variable is defined?
