Re: [Boost-users] equals() from boost/algorithm/string.hpp in top namespace?

Hi,

Why is equals() in the top namespace in 1.33.1?

#include #include

int main() { boost::array a = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }; equals(a, a); return 0; }

To determine if it /really/ is the top namespace, use ::equals(a,a); This should be rejected, since it blocks the normal name lookup rules.
