Name disamb. in multifile project

[gibbofresco]

Hello, I'm working on a program that should manage data structures like queues and stacks.
For exercise, I made structs to model those structures, using two different .c files, each with the struct and the methods.

Now the problem is: if I include my files in a main program, there's name ambiguity. Both structures have "empty" and "null" methods.
Is there a way to disambiguate the methods without changing the name? Of course first solution is change empty(..) to emptyQueue(...) but is tricky and annoying to use.
Maybe namespaces? I know about their existence but I dont know how to use them.

Thanks for help!

Works for C++ only.

A method? This is C, there is no such thing. If you mean you have FUNCTION POINTERS in these structs, there's no reason why the names of those members can't be the same. I think you are not describing correctly what you actually have. Code?

If you're talking about functions which OPERATE on those structs, then no. Those functions may not have the same name.

Tricky? Annoying? I'd say it's more tricky and annoying to have to GUESS which function is correct. Putting the "Queue" on "emptyQueue" makes the function EASIER to understand, I think.

No such thing.
