I keep getting bug reports from users who want to compile code as Objective-C++ in order to use the Apple OS X headers... unfortunately this adds some more relatively common names that we can't use (http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/cocoa/co nceptual/ObjectiveC/Articles/ocCPlusPlus.html#//apple_ref/doc/ uid/TP30001163-CH10-TPXREF167):
id, Class, SEL, IMP, and BOOL
Are these new names or is this just a new request? I'm thinking it would be nice if we could push the source of those names to avoid injecting such common names into the global namespace. If it's simply part of the Objective-C++ language, then I guess we're stuck.
They are types and defines in Apple Objective C runtime headers which are often used in conjunction with not just Objective C++, but also with plain C++ if you are interfacing with Objective C objects in some form (For example I have a minimal equivalent of BPL for Objective C). As for pushing Apple for using such common symbols.. good luck with that ;-) -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
