Similar to what STLport does to pull global functions into std::

//test.cpp - test namespace
//global function
void testfunc(void){}

//pull into namespace
namespace myname{
 using ::testfunc;
};


//use in namespace
namespace myname{
 void func(void){
   testfunc(); // Error: ambiguous reference to symbol
 }
};

int main(void){
 myname::func();
 return 1;
};

output:

sc    test.cpp


   testfunc(); //Error: ambiguous reference to symbol
            ^
test.cpp(13) : Error: ambiguous reference to symbol
Had: testfunc()
and: testfunc()
--- errorlevel 1
Exit code: 1


Borland compiles cleanly.

DMC doesn't do the so-called "Koenig lookup" on namespaces. It will, but
until then, probably the easiest thing is to use the STL included with DMC.

Was hoping I could use stlport to pull standard functions into std::, just
have to wait.

Thanks for the reply
