struct A{ struct AA{}; }; void test() { A a; a.AA // AA does not make a whole lot of sense } I have a fix, but before I send it to gerrit, can anyone comment on this that there are really no use cases for this (I can't think of any, but I might be wrong)? There are quite a few unit tests that are failing when I apply my fix. So before I go through that burden I wanted to get sure that it isn't a fruitless effort.
I can't think of a use case for completing the name of a nested class after a dot. That said, if you have failing tests, then looking at why they fail might highlight a use case we haven't thought of. I *can* think of a use case for completing the name of a base class after a dot: struct Base { int waldo; }; struct Derived : Base { int waldo; }; int main() { Derived d; d.Base::waldo = 42; // use base class name to disambiguate field }
