Native spoker's suggestions are always very welcome, thanks ! (I was just trying to avoid using "use" ...)

How about "...; suggest adding the using keyword"? "using declarations" is ambigous, it is not clear that "using" means the keyword here. Andreas.

That sounds like the compiler is suggesting that the user suggests doing that! > "using declarations" is ambigous, it is not clear that "using" means the > keyword here. That's why I put the hyphen in "using-declarations" :-) but this is turning into a bike shed issue.

It is similar to "suggest parentheses ...". Andreas.

Good point, that's not correct English either, but it would be consistent. ("Suggest X" is an imperative, telling the user to suggest X. The intention is for the compiler to suggest it, not tell the user to suggest it, so the correct grammar would be "GCC suggests X".)

How about "; suggestion: use parentheses" or "; suggestion: add the `using' keyword" (using whatever convention for quoting code). -miles

Sounds good. Since nobody has objected yet, I am going to prepare the complete patch, to submit it probably at the end of the week.

Hi, According to § 11.3/1 from c++98, access delarations are deprecated: The access of a member of a base class can be changed in the derived class by mentioning its qualified-id in the derived class declaration. Such mention is called an access declaration. The effect of an access declaration qualified-id; is defined to be equivalent to the declaration usingqualified-id; [Footnote: Access declarations are deprecated; member using-declarations (7.3.3) provide a better means of doing the same things. In earlier versions of the C++ language, access declarations were more limited; they were generalized and made equivalent to using-declarations - end footnote] Consequently, I propose to deprecate them with a warning, as clang already does. So that you get a warning for the following code: struct A { int i; }; struct B : A { A::i; // <- warning here }; warning: access declarations are deprecated; employ using declarations instead [-Wdeprecated] The warning is trivial to avoid, just add the keyword 'using' before the access declaration. Before adjusting the whole testsuite, I would like to know if there is agreement to do it at stage 3. The patch is really simple: (it does not include yet testsuite adjustements)
