At the risk of discussing the bicycle shed, what about using the scope resolution operator? That, at least, would not be misconstrued by a copyeditor and would be in keeping with C++ syntax.
I had that opinion also until I realized that some boost libraries (like e.g. smart_ptr, thread, etc.) do not reside in their own namespace. So, it would be confusing to write boost::thread or boost::smart_ptr when refering to one of these libraries in a book.
I'm confused. Those references to the libraries would be spelled Boost::SmartPtr (or whatever) and Boost::Thread, right? -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
