Is it possible to place a macro in a namespace in c++?

Question

My application uses another output than the standard output for logging information, which is why I wrote my own Log(), Error(), Panic()

Answer 1

No, the preprocessor doesn't care about namespaces at all. In fact, the preprocessor runs, at least conceptually, before the compiler sees anything.

For myself, I just do a standard ASSERT macro, and expect that no "sane namespace" has something called ASSERT. Problem solved. Should I require a library that has an ASSERT of its own then I can still decide how to deal with this; however, the only library that I'm currently using with its own "assert" calls it BOOST_ASSERT or something like that...
