How can I “unuse” a namespace?

Question

One of the vagaries of my development system (Codegear C++Builder) is that some of the auto-generated headers insist on having...

using namespace xyzzy
         


        

Answer 1

No you can't unuse a namespace. The only thing you can do is putting the using namespace-statement a block to limit it's scope.

Example:

{
    using namespace xyzzy;

} // stop using namespace xyzzy here

Maybe you can change the template which is used of your auto-generated headers.
