Yes.

Unfortunately your patch has a regression even for single-namespace case:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
namespace A
  {
    int variableq = 1;
    namespace B
      {
        int variabler = 2;
      }
  }
int
main (void)
{
  return A::variableq + A::B::variabler;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(gdb) p var<tab>
->
(gdb) p variableq 
No symbol "variableq" in current context.

In this case current FSF GDB HEAD behavior is the only correct one.

The completion patch must follow the existing / non-existing "using namespace"
directives.  The patch must be integrated with `struct using_direct' lists
tracked by Sami Wagiaalla's using_directive infrastructure.

Thanks for picking this up.


Thanks,
