VAX in VC6 appears to have a problem with namespaces where the namespace is referenced by a using statement rather than having the namespace applied as part of the class member function name.
E.g header (Namespaced.h):

namespace SomeNamespace
{
class Namespaced
{
public:
Namespaced();
virtual ~Namespaced();
void method ();
void methodA ();
};
}

Source (Namespaced.cpp):
#include "Namespaced.h"

using namespace SomeNamespace;

Namespaced::Namespaced() {}
Namespaced::~Namespaced() {}
void SomeNamespace::Namespaced::method(){}
void Namespaced::methodA(){}

Test code:
#include "Namespaced.h"

using namespace SomeNamespace;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
Namespaced b;

b.method();
b.methodA();

SomeNamespace::Namespaced c;
c.methodA();

return 0;
}

In test code ALT-G on 'method' presents both header and cpp as alternatives, but ALT-G on 'methodA' goes straight to the header and will not pick up the cpp.

FSIW lists methodA as two separate list items, with and without the namespace.

I am seeing the same thing. Thank you for the clear example.

Aha! This appears to be why I've been having problems with Alt-G for so long. I am seeing the same results in my solution. Adding the namespace to the definition has fixed Alt-G in every case I've tried so far.

I'm using VC++ .NET 2003, so this is not limited to VC6.
