Alias declaration scope
suggest changeAlias Declaration are affected by preceding using statements
namespace boost
{
namespace multiprecision
{
class Number ...
}
}
using namespace boost;
// Both Namespace are equivalent
namespace Name1 = boost::multiprecision;
namespace Name2 = multiprecision;
However, it is easier to get confused over which namespace you are aliasing when you have something like this:
namespace boost
{
namespace multiprecision
{
class Number ...
}
}
namespace numeric
{
namespace multiprecision
{
class Number ...
}
}
using namespace numeric;
using namespace boost;
// Not recommended as
// its not explicitly clear whether Name1 refers to
// numeric::multiprecision or boost::multiprecision
namespace Name1 = multiprecision;
// For clarity, its recommended to use absolute paths
// instead
namespace Name2 = numeric::multiprecision;
namespace Name3 = boost::multiprecision;
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
