C++ namespace alias in entire class scope

Question

I expected to be able to use a namespace alias in a class declaration but get a compiler syntax error.

struct MyClass
{
    namespace abc = a_big_namespace;
             


        

Answer 1

You can of course also put the alias outside the class:

namespace abc = a_big_namespace;     

struct MyClass {
    void fn()
    { abc::test(); } 
};
