             Bug #: 12500
           Summary: Misleading error message
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: asl at math.spbu.ru
                CC: dgregor at apple.com, llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu
    Classification: Unclassified


Consider the following code:

namespace Foo {
  class Bar;
}

namespace Baz {
  class Foo::Bar;
  class Quuz {
    Foo::Bar *b;
  };
}

Right now clang emits an error "definition or redeclaration of 'Bar' not in a
namespace enclosing Foo" which for me seems a bit misleading. Maybe it should
be "Baz" does not enclose "Foo" ? Also, here fixit class => using makes sense.
