Question

Here’s an example (not what I am doing exactly, but hopefully gets the point across).

namespace SDL{
    namespace Surface{
        void blit(SDL_Surface *src, SDL_Surface *dest);
    }
    namespace Audio{
        Mix_Chunk* load_sound(const char *file);
    }
    namespace Color{
        SDL_Color mix(int r, int b, int g);
    }
}

I don’t fear name clashes since I am writing it all myself but for readability– I think it is more clear. Would this be considered bad practice? Better off all within the SDL namespace? Which is considered better style?

Good comment James 🙂

Personally I like them because I never ever use ‘using’ statements. This IMHO it makes code more readable as you can instantly see where this functions resides etc

eg

 int price=StockExchange::CME::GetPrice();
 Database::Mysql::StorePrice(price);
