------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 22 06:31:31 +0000 2008 ------- Actually the compiler does not always have a choice to warn about a ambiguity. Example int f( sal_Int16 n); and code like sal_Int8 n1 = 3; f( n1 ) Here f( n1 ) will call f( sal_Int16 n) from global namespace. If we now have a header file A.hxx like namespace A { int f( sal_Int8 n) } and somehow, maybe just implicitly not even done in our code, the file A.hxx gets included along with a using namespace A; somewhere else then f( n1 ) will no longer implictly conver the sal_Int8 to sal_Int16 and then call the original function as before, because now A::f will have an exactly matching parameter and thus now A::f gets called and likely even without the compiler giving any notice about it at all... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
