让我们假设， Bob 已将其库包装到命名空间＆＃34; bob＆＃34;，和 Alice 将使用命名空间bob＆＃34;，而不是＆＃34;使用bob :: XYZ＆＃34;使整个命名空间在她自己的函数中可见。 每个项目：
// This file is written by Alice:
#include <iostream>
// She uses Bobs library:
#include "bob.hpp"
int main(void) {
// Import Bobs library and use it:
using namespace bob;
unsigned short value = 50000;
bob::dump_as_signed(value);
// Should not be possible without std:: prefix:
cout << "foobar" << endl;
}
另一方面，Bob试图通过将实现包装在虚拟命名空间中并使仅提供这些符号来防止此类情况，这些符号适用于其他用户：
// This file is written by Bob
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
// Namespace for public use:
namespace bob {
// Implementation details:
namespace impl_ {
// Visible ONLY within sub-namespace:
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::is_integral;
using std::make_signed;
// No repeated std:: prefixes at all:
template <typename T,
typename S = typename make_signed<T>::type>
void dump_as_signed(const T i) {
static_assert(is_integral<T>::value, "no integer");
// Do something very very useful:
cout << "signed:" << static_cast<S>(i) << endl;
}
}
// Make available without poisoning with std::*:
using impl_::dump_as_signed;
}
因为所有使用指令都包含在一个虚拟＆＃34; impl _＆＃34;在Bobs主命名空间中的命名空间，Alice也不存在意外地从std :: namespace，导入符号的风险。
所以，我的问题是：
答案 0 :(得分：5)
我们假设 Alice 正在使用两个库，由 Bob 和 Charlie 制作。
// This file is written by Alice:
#include <bob.hpp>
#include <charlie.hpp>
int main(void) {
using namespace bob;
using namespace charlie;
// Do a bunch of stuff
}
现在，查理发明了一个名为foobar的新功能，并将其添加到他的库中。 foobar很棒，他的用户喜欢它。 Alice也开始使用它。
然后鲍勃说，“我也喜欢foobar，我想拥有自己的foobar我可以在我的图书馆中使用。但我不想依赖查理。”所以他创造了自己的版本。
哦，哦，现在Alice的代码无法编译！ Alice的代码中foobar的每次使用都是模棱两可的，她必须重写整个项目。
然后，下个月会发生同样的事情。然后是下个月。
现在，Alice的所有客户都非常不满意，因为他们正在构建大型技术并尝试保持其最新版本的依赖项，但每次尝试升级任何内容时，Alice的代码都会崩溃。他们在她的bug追踪器上做了很多错误报告。
Alice向Bob和Charlie发送电子邮件并说
大家，你必须停止制作同名的课程，否则我将失去我的所有业务！
鲍勃和查理发送电子邮件给爱丽丝：
没有Alice，您需要停止在代码中添加
using namespace bob;和using namespace charlie;。鲍勃或查理不支持这一点。
现在，让我们再说一遍，除了没有查理。只是Alice在她的项目中创建了自己的类，与Bob添加的新名称冲突。
简而言之，using namespace指令绝不是一个好主意（在我看来）。当命名空间是外部库时，尤其是。你
使用namespace = 缩短命名空间通常是一个非常好的主意。我喜欢这样做：
namespace my_lib {
namespace qi = boost::spirit::qi;
// Do stuff with qi
// ...
} // end namespace my_lib
这样我就可以在qi中使用短名my_lib，但我不对用户强加任何内容。 （我期望不正在做using namespace my_lib;！）
如果您是用户，可以执行类似
的操作namespace cha = charlie::name::space::is_way_too_long;
但是，您应该非常乐意输入短bob::或std::等命名空间，无论您是用户还是库实现者，如果它意味着您的代码不会中断库已升级。
这不是DRY。将某些类限定符放在名称上可以更容易地阅读代码并理解它的含义。
例如，看一下流行的C库SDL。据我所知， SDL中的每个宏开始SDL_，每个函数都开始sdl_。这是违反“干”的吗？没有。这里没有重复的实现细节 - 公共前缀是为了避免名称冲突。此外，它使代码更具可读性和可维护性 - 每当我看到一个正在谈论SDL实体的符号时，我立即就知道了。它对人类和计算机都非常有帮助。
使用using namespace std;或using namespace my_lib;就像采用C ++最佳功能之一并将其扔进垃圾箱。权衡的是，除了键入5个字符外，还要以损害可读性和可维护性为代价。
分手思考：using namespace如何影响您获得的错误消息的质量。
这是一个不编译的简单程序：
#include <iostream>
struct foo {};
int main() {
std::cout << foo{} << std::endl;
}
当编译器看到此代码时，它将不得不尝试它知道的每个流操作符重载并检查foo是否可以转换为任何这些内容。因为std::cout是参数之一，ADL意味着我们必须搜索整个std命名空间。事实证明，令人惊讶的是，foo不能转换为任何这些东西。在gcc 5.3上，我收到以下（200行）错误消息。

重点是：如果你using namespace bob;，那么bob的每个可流式传输类型也将出现在该列表中！如果你做using namespace charlie;那么他的所有类型都会在那里！
错误消息不仅会变得更糟，而且您更有可能获得一些您没想到的非常奇怪的互动。如果Bob的类型偶尔可以链接到Charlie的类型之一怎么办？查理的类型偶尔可以隐式转换为可流化的标准类型吗？
当然，这不仅适用于任何运算符重载，而且适用于任何模板或函数调用。
所以，最重要的是，如果你避免在一个命名空间中混合大量的垃圾，那么C ++就更容易推理并且工作得更好。
