How to compile a project with two classes with same name in different namespaces?

[tbscope]

this becomes inelegant.

If you don't mind my opinion. If you do, just don't read it ;-)

What you suggest is extremely ugly. I guess you are used to write code in Java?
I prefer to give all my classes a unique name and in their separate files. I do use sub directories to organise the code a little bit. But I have never had a use for namespaces, how complex my program might be. In fact, I think it confuses people when they need to read a lot of complex code.

Edit: I have looked at code like Open Office etc... Ohh my dear sweet deity, that is beyond insane, especially the directory structures.

If you've sequestered your classes within different namespaces, you won't get any name collisions unless you've managed to do something wrong. The most common error is excessive or inappropriate use of the 'using' statement, which can strip off namespaces completely and undo the protection they offer. Please post the offending code and the error messages you're receiving.

Also, I agree with tbscope: it looks like you're trying to emulate Java, rather than use good coding practices. Excessive namespace depth is not necessary in C++ and only serves to make code harder to read. If you need to organize classes, do so with libraries. If you're getting name collisions within your own project, that's a design problem, not a namespace problem.

I'd disagree with you, use of namespaces is absolutely clear in C++. Sometimes you just need to give the classes same names. And sometimes you use other's code and there's no chance to "rename" it for your use. And, also, if you deliver a code to somebody, they would like to keep a chance to give their classes any names.
