FWIW This compiles fine in VC7.1 . AFAIK there is no C++ rule banning an empty statement in any scope( including namespace scope) where a statement is otherwise allowed.
But that's just it: statements aren't allowed at namespace scope.
Thats not correct. A declaration-statement is a statement. However I assume what you are trying to say is ; if statements allowed at namespace scope cannot be empty then by deduction semicolons representing empty statements are not permitted at namespace scope. Apologies for the misleading comment. Andy Little
