Nothing really stops us from creating a C++ namespace. After all, we
do have the following construct in quite a number if not all exported
header files:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
/* yada yada yada */
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
What's stopping us from specifying a namespace in there, technically
speaking? I mean, except for backward compatibility (people will
suddenly HAVE to have a line saying "using namespace openssl;" or
something like that).
Cheers,
Richard
