Re: [Dev-C++] Demystifying namespace

[<ce...@te...>]

Yeah, I understand that perfectly.
I understood the last maya's question as "passing them (__func__ and 
__line__) to a srting!!!??? What you say passes the value, I wanted to 
pass the variable name*". The answer, is that her code, was intending to 
do just that an std:string variable to which a __func__ or __liner__ 
were to be passed..
It was like her was thinking that when passing the #defined name for 
them the item passed to her string variables where something like the 
name of the "definition" variable, which has no sense. Hum, in that 
moment I saw that sense of her question clearly, know, I wonder if I 
really understood her question.

And yes, the errors should appear there, but I've noticed mingw has some 
tendency to point the errors related to #defined thing in the next 
lines; and thos related to missing ';' in headers to the begining of the 
source file which includes the header.

Thanks.

P.S. - The high cross-posting comes from her message, I simply clicked 
'reply all'

*which translated to code, say
 __line__ = "this is the line blah" (sorry if this has no sense, but I'd 
never used this);
She thinks,
if #define foo __line__
std::string yuu = foo; ----> yuu = "__line__" (which makes no sense) 
instead of "this is the line blah".
