Anybody have any scripts or macros for adding juce:: in front of every type so I don’t need to do it manually?
Currently I’m using Xcode’s “fix all errors” which is doing an ok job, but sometimes it makes mistakes. And it only does one file at a time.
namespace juce?
oh man! this should be a Projucer tool!!!
I found an option inside Projucer’s project setting to auto define
using namespace juce;
The only time I’ve been manually using juce:: was with the juce::String
@aram the JUCE framework has moved to not using the using namespace juce method, as modern c++ encourages the proper use of namespaces. One can still choose to use that method, through the Projucer, but I assume the OP is looking to adopt the preferred method (as I am), and having a tool to automate the operation of adding the juce:: namespace in front of all of the JUCE apis, would be awesome! 
I just kept building my project until I stopped getting errors. Didn’t take long, really. Don’t like to search&replace across the entire project, because I could have used a keyword/type/comment with the same text as some JUCE name. Plus, I’d need to know all possible JUCE symbols used in my project, anyway. It was just a lot easier to let the compiler tell me where I needed to add juce::.
Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean
using namespace juce
but
namespace juce
{
// your code
}
No no no no!
It’s really bad practice to just throw some of your own random symbols into somebody else’s namespace! That namespace doesn’t belong to you, and you don’t know what’s in there!
I can only think of one situation where you’d ever want to write namespace SomeBodyElsesCode {... which is when you need to declare an overridden handler function to let this other library deal with your own custom type (e.g. you sometimes need to add a hash handler to the std namespace in order to make std::hash work with your class), but when you do this, you need to treat it as a very dangerous operation, and only add the absolute bare minimum of symbols to their namespace.
Ug, I had to update 2000+ lines of code. Better to do it now than later I guess.
I am looking for the time in our schedule for this task…how long did that take? 2-4 hours?
I had about 32,000 lines of code that required 2000 changes. Probably took 4 hours or so.
