[Doxygen-develop] Namespaces

[Daniel J. H. <da...@hi...>]

I have had some trouble with the way namespaces are handled in the XML 
output, so I dug into the Doxygen code a little bit.   In an instance 
where I have a C++ namespace declared as:

namespace ExampleNamespace {
    class A {
        ....
    }
}

I have found that the name of class A is rolled up into 
ExampleNamespace::A, so that there is no difference between the 
namespace name and the class name.   I looked through xmlgen.cpp and 
found that when outputting the class name A, the namespace (found 
through a getNamespaceDef call in the ClassDef object) is undefined.   
After this, I searched through doxygen.cpp and found that in static void 
addClassToContect(Entry *root) that the namespace of a class is stripped 
off into namespaceName and then never used.   Is this the desired 
behavior?  It seems to me that this name should be used to find the 
innermost namespace and assigned to m_nspace in order to fully define 
ClassDef.
