--- Comment #3 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jason Merrill <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:d087b59527a658a4de13febbb593edbf03339e93 commit r12-8093-gd087b59527a658a4de13febbb593edbf03339e93 Author: Jason Merrill <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Mon Apr 11 13:06:05 2022 -0400 c++: operator new lookup [PR98249] The standard says, as we quote in the comment just above, that if we don't find operator new in the allocated type, it should be looked up in the global scope. This is specifically ::, not just any namespace, and we already give an error for an operator new declared in any other namespace. PR c++/98249 gcc/cp/ChangeLog: * call.cc (build_operator_new_call): Just look in ::. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * g++.dg/lookup/new3.C: New test.
