Thread: namespace question

I have a C++ class that has a function "Connect()" which calls another function I wrote in straight C, also called Connect.

My question is, how can I call the second in the first without the names clashing?

If the C function is a member of another namespace then all you have to do is use the scope resolution operator with the namespace:
namespace :: Connect();

If you aren't using namespaces and the function is global, then you can do something like this:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;

void func ( void )
{
  cout<<"global\n";
}

class test
{
public:
  void func ( void );
};

void test::func ( void )
{
  cout<<"local to test\n";
  ::func(); // Global namespace
}

int main ( void )
{
  test t;
  t.func();
  return 0;
}

This code will print

local to test
global

Thanks Prelude!
