llvm dev - Sep 2005 - [LLVMdev] name collision - llvm::tie and boost::tie

The BGL (Boost Graph Library) defines tie(), which is exactly what the
tie() defined in STLExtras.h.

The header files of GBL use boost::tie(), and other boost libraries
use boost::tie() too.

How to resolve the ambiguity for compiler?

I'm sorry, I'm not quite following: how does "llvm::tie" clash
with the
name "boost::tie"?  If there is code that includes both LLVM and Boost
header files, they should be using fully-qualified namespaces, and not
"using namespace llvm; using namespace boost;" .

Couldn't you state the explicit namespaces. So not using "using
namespace llvm" and instead prefix all calls with "llvm::"?

The header files in boost do not use fully-qualified tie(). I probably
should not modify them. But my .cpp file #include them.

I hope I could "using namespace"  boost and llvm in .cpp file, because
it's tedious to use fully-qualified identifiers in boost and llvm
namespace.
