Example:

vector<T>::iterator

A workaround is to use four of them.

vector<T>::::iterator

Since there is a workaround, perhaps it should be included in the docs and leave it as is... or to implement a fix.

I agree, the real fix would be to escape the ::, i.e. use :: (this is consistent with the other characters that have a special meaning, such as #,<,and >)

Another fix, related to bug # 632879, is to give a warning about the use of :: as an link indicator to a non existing global 'iterator' and then show the result as-is.

Should be corrected in the next subversion update.

Then the correct solution is to use:

vector<>::iterator
