I am using the GA candidate.

For a long time I have been under the impression that outliner in C++ just
didn't work; however, I recently started editting some lame (no use of
namespaces) C++ code, and I noticed that the outliner does indeed work
when namespaces are not used.

All of the C++ code I write does (and all C++ code in the world should
IMO) use namespaces. Is it really that difficult to get the outliner to
work with namespaces ?

Hi rennie,

The Outliner is one area that we plan to look at in the future. Currently
its functionality is somewhat limited (:o) . The debugger and porting to
Eclipse 2.0 were our biggest priorities for the CDT 1.0 release.

If you have an idea of how to implement this, remember Eclipse and the CDT
are open source.
We would LOVE to have a look at your patch to add this functionality.

Thanks
-Judy

Hmmm, I might hack something after the release is out, if it really
irritates me. Put it this way, I never thought it worked at all, and it
wasn't a problem, I just found it surprising that it was tripped up by
something as insignificant as a namespace (it seems as if it could simply
ignore namespaces). I would think the case where there were 2 namespaces
in a single file with a name collision would be so infrequent as to not be
a concern (at least for outliner in its current iteration).

btw: the project I am working on (at home) in C++ is an open source
project for QNX, so I already have my hands full ;-)

Glad to see we are keeping the Open Source Community busy ;)

Thanks for your feedback.

You are indeed Mr. Judy; thanks for all the hard work on the CDT ;-)

ps: the above sentence contains a qdn.public.qnxrtp.* inside joke.
