Question

i\'m coming into C++ from Java/AS3-land, and i\'m used to the package-cum-folder structure for my classes. and i like it.

i understand the very basics of namespaces in

Answer 1

The src/ is a common place there c/c++ programmers put their sources within the project root. For example:

doc/    <- documentation
libs/   <- additional libraries
po/     <- gettext translations
src/    <- sources

it common to create subdirectories underneath src/ if you've got a lot of sources files but there are no limitations how to organize this substructure.

Keep in mind that a directory structure in completely optional in c++. That is no connection between c++ namespaces and the directory structure.
