Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #3811: global namespace polution https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3811 <p> As noted in this thread: <a class="ext-link" href="http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/01/160448.php"><span class="icon">​</span>http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/01/160448.php</a> all global symbols whether macros or extern "C" functions should start with a "boost_" prefix - both to avoid polluting the global namespace as far as is possible, and to make boost-related symbols readily identifiable and searchable. </p> <p> Boost.Test has the global symbol "execution_monitor_jumping_signal_handler" which should probably be "boost_execution_monitor_jumping_signal_handler", likewise for "execution_monitor_attaching_signal_handler". </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3811 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Fri, 11 Jun 2010 02:53:09 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3811#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3811#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> Note that these functions are static and are quite mangled already, so the chances of an error as a result of this are slim to none. </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>Steven Watanabe</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 11 Jun 2010 03:39:50 GMT</pubDate> <title>status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3811#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3811#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/62782" title="Add boost_ prefix to extern &#34;C&#34; functions.
