Nesting the namespace "Internal" inside of other namespaces and using
sequential "using namespace" directives *or* relying on a "using
namespace" directive to resolve a method name that contained the
"Internal" namespace for resolution resulted in ambiguous resolution
errors when compiling with the RHEL5.10 stock compiler (GCC 4.1.2). A
sample error is provided below:
Compilation error encountered was:
reference to 'Internal' is ambiguous
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-
candidates are: namespace Internal { }
qt-creator/src/libs/cplusplus/PPToken.h:106: error:
namespace CPlusPlus::Internal { }
Modifying the using namespace directives to reflect the nested nature of
the namespace names resolved the compilation errors. For example:
using namespace CppEditor;
using namespace Internal;
produced errors. However,
using namespace CppEditor;
using namespace CppEditor::Internal;
resolved the compilation errors by removing the ambiguity.
