I am confused now, cross module renaming??
I was thinking this:
a.d
extern(C++, std) { ... class string ... }
class string now has two fully-qualified names. a.string, and std.string
(assuming the current DIP is implemented).
b.d
import std.string;
import cpp = a; // a must be accessed via cpp
This renames the a *module*, but not the C++ namespace. The C++ namespace
is entirely separate from D's module imports.
So now, a's string has two names, cpp.string and std.string (still).
std.string.... /// okay D version
Error. Refers both to the std.string module, and the string class within
the std C++ namespace.
cpp.std.string ... /// okay c++ version
I don't think this would work either. This is a mix of D modules, and C++
namespaces. The DIP does not mention this possibility.
string ... /// Okay D version
I think this may work.
cpp.string /// Okay C++ version
Yes.
