Subject: [PATCH 07/33] thrift: always prefix namespaces with " ::"
Summary:
Thrift always refers to namespaces using their full name. Therefore, it
should prefix them with "::" to avoid accidentally matching a name
defined in one of the current namespaces, rather than at the top-level.
For example, if ServiceB is in namespace bar, and inherits from ServiceA
in namespace foo, all code emitted for ServiceB now refers to ServiceA
as ::foo::ServiceA instead of just foo::ServiceA. This allows the code
to compile even if a namespace ::bar::foo also exists.
An extra leading whitespace is also emitted, which is needed in cases
when the name is used as the first template parameter, so that the
emitted code contains "< ::" instead of "<::".
Test Plan:
jsong reported a build problem because of this name lookup error, and
this change fixed his build.
I also tested building [internal fb thing] and [internal fb thing], and they
both built
successfully.
