As the parsing is applied recursively, "A::B::C" is handled correctly.
You are right however that "::A" is not parsed correctly with my
simple approach.  In order to do so, it would be sufficient to add the
following rule:

    | ':' ':' tIDENTIFIER { $$ = $3; }

Perhaps there's a more elegant method.

I did succeed.  It works for both class and namespace scoping.  I
tried a simple C++ program with MS Visual C++ 6.0, and it works fine.

Thanks for your feedback.
