As far as I got the ISO standard correct, the 'pword' definition should only be considered a foreward declaration of 'word' when 'word' is undefined and has a definition later in the same block. So the current behaviour of GPC

Well, according to iso10206 and iso7185, section 6.2.2.5 in both:

6.2.2.5

When an identifier or label has a defining-point for region A and
another identifier or label having the same spelling has a
defining-point for some region B enclosed by A, then region B and
all regions enclosed by B shall be excluded from the scope of the
defining-point for region A.

To me this contradicts your `when .. is undefined', so I still think it's a bug.

So the behavior of gpc for ordinary identifiers like "foo" in my previous snippet is standard conformant, and the different behavior for the special case of "word" is not.
