Hi Artyom,
You're absolutely right that the tutorial needs to be updated! The
website is also open source and managed via a git repo:
https://gem5.googlesource.com/public/gem5-website/. Updating this would be
a good way to get started contributing to gem5 :).
By the way, for the namespace, you can also wrap the file in the following
so you don't have to explicitly use namespaces everywhere:
```
namespace gem5
{
<your code>
}
```
Cheers,
Jason
