Using the following simple app (at bottom), it seems that VAX is not handling private namspaces properly (1418 and before worked fine). In my real apps, it appears that all functions in private namespaces are not being parsed properly, and all get squiggly red lines under them.

-Wes

-- main.cpp --

namespace {
  void PrivateMethod(int parm0, float parm1, bool parm3) {}
}
int main() {
  // neither way of specifying the symbol works
  // PrivateMethod(0, 1, true);
  // ::PrivateMethod(0, 1, true);
  return 0;
}

a C++ question first, how come this works? my understanding is that the function main is not inside the unnamed namespace, so the function PrivateMethod() is out of scope.

you cannot use a using statement to include the namespace, since it has no name, and putting :: at the front specifies global scope, not an unnamed namespace.

obviously there is something i am missing, since i have just placed the following code into a C++ project using VS 2003 and VA 1422


namespace {
    void PrivateMethod(int parm0, float parm1, bool parm3) {}
}

int testScope() {
    PrivateMethod(0, 1, true);
    ::PrivateMethod(0, 1, true);
    return 0;
}


VA's view is attached, and the code compiles without any warnings or errors.

unnamed namepaces are the "C++ way" to declare variables/functions without external linkage. It is essentially identical to a static var. See the MSDN docs or any other C++ reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclang/html/_pluslang_unnamed_namespaces.asp.

So yes, my examples are valid C++ code, and we do things like it EVERYWHERE in our code. Please note that VAX <= 1418 parsed all this correctly.
