            Bug ID: 88471
           Summary: GCC suggests variables that are not of the right type
           Product: gcc
           Version: 8.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jg at jguk dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

GCC suggests variables that are not of the right type. 'rename' is actually
function, so wouldn't be assigned to an int.


$ g++-8 -Wall -o name name.cpp
name.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
name.cpp:6:13: error: ‘name’ was not declared in this scope
     int v = name;
             ^~~~
name.cpp:6:13: note: suggested alternative: ‘rename’
     int v = name;
             ^~~~
             rename
$



// g++-8 -Wall -o name name.cpp
#include <cstdio>

int main()
{
    int v = name;
    return v;
}
