No. I think the committee is planning to clarify the rules to make it clear that global new/delete must not be defined inside a namespace. >Are there any discussions about such a thing ? Yes, the committee has discussed this issue. I think the conclusion was that allowing global new/delete to be defined inside namespaces would require some new (and complicated) lookup rules, and no-one was interested in doing the work required for a proposal on the issue - I guess the additional complexity outweighed any potential benefits. -- Fergus Henderson WWW: http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~fjh fjh@cs.mu.oz.au PGP: finger fjh@128.250.37.3 --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
