browse symbols + namespaces = problem

[Henrique Bucher]

I've tried to find all functions that reference one specific function:

Street::Traffic::BuildTurn( const Street::TurnID& )

"Street" is a namespace, "Traffic" is the class and "BuildTurn()" is
the function.

Using the object browser, I can select BuildTurn() and then issue a
Quick Find Symbol. But the Find Symbols Result window says that this
function is not referenced anywhere. I know it does because I can stop
at the beginning of it with a breakpoint.

Then I added manually (with Customize...) the bsc file to the browser
list and - voila' - the browser showed TWO functions:

Street::Traffic::BuildTurn( const Street::TurnID& );
Traffic::BuildTurn( const TurnID& );

The first item shows several references to it but the second (that
matches the original at the browser) says exactly as before - no
references.

My guess is that the browser tool has a problem with namespaces. Is
that right?

Yes, you are right. The VC++ .NET browser does not handle namespaces very
well. We are fixing that in a future release.
