This is precisely one reason why anonymous namespaces are useful. It provides a very viceral way to sanity check an API. Make sure that the private parts really are private, say. Please, let's leave <rope> out of it. I think that there are good reasons to use anonymous namespaces in headers, even if you disagree with these designs personally. -benjamin -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28514
