Description
Bug Report
When using the assignment operator (aka "walrus") inside the class definition scope, I get a [name-defined] error.
To Reproduce
https://mypy-play.net/?mypy=latest&python=3.11&gist=367470bba328790329e68ce08bd7eb59
class TestTuple:
t = (a := 1, a)
class TestExpression:
(b := 2, b)
def add(x: int, y: int):
return x + y
class TestAdd:
result = add(c := 3, c)
class TestOverride:
d = add(d := 4, d)
TestTuple.a # output: 1
TestTuple.t # output: (1, 1)
TestExpression.b # output: 2
TestAdd.c # output: 3
TestAdd.result # output: 6
TestOverride.d # output: 8
Expected Behavior
I expected mypy to not raise any error as these all execute in python.
Actual Behavior
main.py:2: error: Name "a" is not defined [name-defined]
main.py:6: error: Name "b" is not defined [name-defined]
main.py:14: error: Name "c" is not defined [name-defined]
main.py:18: error: Name "d" is not defined [name-defined]

Research direction
Start with the linked mypy-play reproduction and the Python 3.11 examples in the issue, then trace how class-scope walrus assignments are analyzed. Done means the reported examples type-check without the four name-defined errors while preserving the shown inferred values.
