Yeah, fair enough. But I don't think we can guarantee that the user won't "using namespace std", so prefixing with :: is probably the right thing to do. I still find it fairly astounding that the naked word "rank" (vs "rank()") is ambiguous with a variable and a function call. I wouldn't be surprised by this in a scripting language; if this really is true in C++, that's quite surprising to me. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
