Yes, I undestood the situation and the question perfectly well. The original author chose one of the possible versions, and James submitted a patch to change them all according to a (not yet existing) policy. And I'm against a policy in this matter. Actually, I think that putting std:: at every reference is not preferable, as in 99% of the cases we mean std::string, and in 100% we mean std::cout, so the prefix is basically redundant noise. Do we actually have more than one or two cases where a name by itself would look ambiguous? I'm only aware of ./src/GUI/AirportList.cxx, where "string" would be considered a pu-member without the std. But then again, I don't really have a strong preference. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
