Name spaces in C++

Hi all,

I am writting an application in Visual C++ and am having troubles linking the front end modules with the back end ones.

Im getting hundreds of link errors and suspect its due to
class/variable nameing conflicts.

Someone suggested i use a feature called "name sapceing" but i cant find much info about it.

Does anyone know how to use it and how data is shared using name spaceing.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Code:

namespace MyNames{
int aVar = 10;
// or any other stuff here (classes, functions, ...)
}


// In other source file you can use the namespace like this:
cout << MyNames::aVar;

// ----- or -----

using MyNames::aVar;
cout << aVar;

This is just a quick example. Please ask for more information if something is unclear.
