Hi, I found gcc3.3 deal with namespace in a wrong way. Follow is my
code snip. BTW, I compile this code with gcc3.3 under mac OS10.3.

I didn't use statement of 'using namespace std;', but gcc think my
variant 'fill' is conflict with 'std::fill()'. Is it wrong that gcc
have done?

int fill;

struct foo{int foo;};

#include <vector>

void test(void)
{
   vector< foo > vt;

   vt.resize(2);
}

gcc saying(amongst other things),
error: `fill' is not a function,
/usr/include/g++/bits/stl_algobase.h:561: error:   conflict with `void
  std::fill(char*, char*, const char&)'

I'd appreciate for any advice on the issue.
