Member types used as function definition parameters

[NagelBagel]

typedef double type;

class A {
typedef int type;
void f(type);
};

void A::f(type)
{
}

int main() { }

I was wondering if this code was correct. It compiles correctly under
gcc, but by the standard, does the last usage of type need to be
qualified as A::type?

Thanks.

No, it's OK. However the function result type needs to be qualified if
it refers to a type defined in the class. The 1998 C++ standard is a
bit unclear and inconsistent about this; it was corrected in C++ 2003.
