::name gives syntax error starting with 1.82

[Fraser]

Using ::name to specify name in the global namespace or one reachable from it with a previous using declaration is valid but generates a "syntax error" with 1.82. I used it as a functions return type. I'm not sure if there is a false positive in other cases.

could you show a small code example that trigger this syntax error? Then I will create a ticket.

The error appears to require a function template.

typedef std::pair< unsigned char , unsigned char > CRCWord;

template < typename T >
::CRCWord const Compute(T const t) {
return CRCWord();
}
