Definition of constant within namespace in cpp file

Question

I\'ve approached this strange ( for me ) effect in VS 2010. Can anyone smart shed some light on it please.

//Header.h
#include 
namespace MySpa         


        

Answer 1

You can alternatively write:

const std::string MySpace::SOME_CONST_STRING = "CONST_STRING_VALUE";

That name is declared inside MySpace so you have to refer to it as such.
