Why does visual express 2008 not give me the option of system when typing std:: though I hear it is part of the <cstdlib>?
It could be that system is defined in the toplevel namespace and only included into std by way of a using statement. That way it wouldn’t actually be in the namespace std, but rather just be accessible through it.
There’s just one toplevel or global namespace, ::. So ::global would be that function. If they’d implemented the function as
that would explain this behaviour. System signature may be wrong, didn’t check it.
