No, it's not a bug. Your code is correct so why do you want gcc to
complain ?
Teh second declaration of foo hides the former one and becomes a local
function of the former function foo. There is nothing to say about that.
It's up to you to keep in mind when you call "foo()" what is the
function wich is known at the line you make the call.
It's the same thing when you make :

int i;

void foo()
{
	int i;
	i=1;
}

main
{
	i=1
}

the second "i" hides the first one and becomes local to the function
foo.
