However, for Boost.Thread to start dumping stuff in the global namespace sounds like a regression to me.

Doesn't using extern "C" mean the name is in the global namespace? Did I miss something?

IOW, putting the declaration in a namespace or not has no effect on the generated symbols or name lookup.

No, extern "C" affects linking, not name lookup. Regards, -- Agustín K-ballo Bergé.- http://talesofcpp.fusionfenix.com
