Done and committed under revision r489263.

Both Linux and Windows build clean. I built all the extensions on Linux,
and all but the PHP extension on Windows, as it looks like it has not
been ported to VSExpress yet.

As part of this code clean up I also organized the include statements in
the following order, to improve readability:
#include standard C++ headers
#include platform specific headers and runtime dependency headers
#include SDO headers
#include SCA headers

The 'using namespace' statements are now only in .cpp files, and appear
after all the the #include statements.

Finally, I adjusted the XSL stylesheets used to generate C++ proxies and
wrappers around C++ component implementations to use qualified names
instead of 'using namespace' statements. This will reduce the risk of
name collisions with user defined names in the generated code as well.

I think this is good practice. Did you do the SDO tree as well? I did go
through and remove the "using namespace" statements many months ago but left
the individual statements like "using std::string". In the SDO tree there
are some ordering requirements of includes, usually to stop confusing
libxml.

cheers,


Pete,

I had not done the SDO tree but since you asked I just did it now :) After removing the 'using' statements from the SDO headers (there were just 3 or 4, not many) I had to add 'using' statements to a few SCA .cpp source files to make them compile again, but the runtime source trees are all clean now. We still have a few 'using' in some SCA and SDO test cases but they are not harmful and we can leave them for now I think.
