Hi, This clause says "[Note: a namespace name or a class template name must be unique in its declarative region (7.3.2 clause 14)" However there is no clause 14 in 7.3.2. I think the correct reference should be 7.3.2 clause 4. I checked the draft doc from the web in addition to a bound copy and they both look the same. ------- Ivan http://www.0x4849.net --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.

I think the correct reference should be 7.3.2 clause 4. It's a somewhat confusing reference, but it's right. It refers to two places, section 7.3.2 and clause 14. The standard doesn't have references to individual paragraphs, only to numbered sections. Incidentally, the usual convention for referring to a particular paragraph is 3.3/4. Even better, [basic.scope](3.3)/4 or some such. The section tags stay the same as the draft develops. The section numbers change. I see. So apparently a "Clause" is the same thing as a "Chapter". I was thinking a clause was a paragraph number, since all the chapters are titled "Chapter X" and not "Clause X". Thanks, ------ Ivan http://www.0x4849.net --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.

Quote: I was thinking a clause was a paragraph number, since all the chapters are titled "Chapter X" and not "Clause X". Oops, I need to fix that. The 2003 standard just has the clause number at the start of each clause. The "Chapter" is an artifact of the change from troff to LaTeX, after the 2003 standard. -- -- Pete Roundhouse Consulting, Ltd.

Why not making an innocent editorial fix here? Also, could you please have a look at Ivan's post on c.l.c++.m and my reply there? I suspect there's a defect on this but I haven't checked the whole 7.3. -- Gennaro Prota. C++ developer. For hire. (to mail me, remove any 'u' from the address) --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
