[matroska-devel] Namespace pb

[Steve Lhomme]

I saw on the IRC logs that Cyrius had problems with the namespaces of 
libeml.

The solution used is working but a dirty hack (#define uint8 
LIBEBML_uint8 / #undef uint8).

The problem you probably have is that all libebml classes are children 
of VDub classes (am I right ?). If there is no specific need for that I 
suggest you remove that depency because in this case you're mixing the 
namespaces of VDub (if any) and the ones of libebml/libmatroska. So you 
would need something like vdub_namespace::libebml::uint8 which is still 
possible and cleaner to use.

Other than that when you use some libebml/libmatroska elements in your 
code you should use LIBEBML_NAMESPACE::uint8 instead of using namespace 
LIBEBML_NAMESPACE (which led you to ambiguous code). After all the 
namespaces are here to help you get rid of ambiguous definitions not to 
annoy you !
