Talk:Namespace

message: Is the word namespace really used in general like this article suggests it is? I thought it was more or less restricted to programming languages. Note that I am not saying the word couldn't or shouldn't be used in a more general context, I am just questioning whether it is or not already. If not, this is effectively primary research.

thread_title: Namespacing articles

message: What is the difference between a namespace and a container? Is a container that can be used qualified providing a namespace (e.g. struct and directory), or are they excluded from the definition. 
I also think the namemangling remarks should be removed. If only since it is not clear what the exact name is (instance name or type name). Mangling uses the typename, while when qualifying the hierarchy (x.y.z) in the source the instance name is used.

thread_title:  namespace vs container 

message: There should be an example dealing with Wikipedia's namespacing conventions.
Not as a WK edition tutorial (does not belong there), but as an example more evocative to WK users than this or that programming language.
Why describe, say, C++ and Java, but not Wiki ?

message: The for starters section is fairly convoluted, and i would say the XML example shown is certainly not for starters. Would anyone object to me removing it? Gsonnenf (talk) 06:33, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  For starters 

message: Why does the "solution via prefix" subsection, under Name Conflicts, suddenly mention Civil Engineering and Electrical Engineering, and then An Engineering College? Shouldn't it simply repeat the html table's information (Apples and Bananas) and then the furniture 'table' section (African Coffee Table) but with prefixes? Am I missing something?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jayache80 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  prefixes 

message: Is the C language example in the article appropriate?
I thought that the primary usefulness of namespaces in programming
was to allow abbreviated identifier names based on the context.
The C example using structures does not accomplish this. Michael9422 (talk) 18:57, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  C language example 

message: In this section, there is the sentence:
 "Namespaces (or a similar technique, see Emulating namespaces) provide a mechanism for hiding local identifiers."
I would say, instead, that they allow abbreviations for unique, non-local or global identifiers. Michael9422 (talk) 19:00, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Computer science considerations 

message: I am skeptical of the section called "Emulating namespaces". It
seems a bit like revisionist history to me. The problem of excessively long identifier
names in order to avoid global name conficts is the problem that motivated the invention of
namespaces, isn't it?  Could we just as well say that namespaces are emulating
the choice of clear, hierarchical, and unique global variable names? Which came first?

thread_title:  Emulating namespaces? 

message: There are criticisms of namespaces that might deserve mentioning in the article, perhaps in a new
section. For example, see "Why I Hate Namespaces", by Danny Kalev:
 https://web.archive.org/web/20160709115609/http://www.informit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=cplusplus&seqNum=286
In the article, he says that adding namespaces to C++ was a mistake.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Citations seem to be scarce and there is a lot of original research ("custom namespaces are extensively used by programmers, ...").
Large portions of this article shouldn't be here, and it needs a ton more citations. Maybe add WP:TONE flag?

thread_title: Citations

message: The introduction reads badly to me. Why does the second sentence refer specifically to Java? "In Java, a namespace ensures that all the identifiers within it must have unique names so that they can be easily identified." That seems to be getting specific too quickly. Couldn't we just say "A namespace requires that all the identifiers within it have unique names so that they can be easily identified."? Zaddikskysong (talk) 02:23, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Link for Citation #9 is No Longer Available 

message: Hello,
Welcome to c-sharptutorial.com. I am Shahzad Aslam. I am the founder of c-sharptutorial.com. I'm currently living near Islamabad. I did my BSCS in 2010. I have 13 years of experience in Dot Net and its supporting technologies. I like playing games, especially playing cricket. At the time of my career, whenever I was working on my computer, I had a feeling of a lack of neat, clean tutorials on the internet. Mostly, the tutorials I read were congested. Whenever I open a tutorial about a specific topic, it always has a lot of congested content. I often think there should be websites that do have more clear and easily readable content, and many times, when I searched for a topic on the internet, it was not found on the internet. At that time, I was thinking that there should be a website that covers topics that I did not find on the Internet. So, to accomplish this dream, I set up the foundation of c-sharptutorial.com. I recently written an article in my website about Namespace in C#. Please add this link in your wikipedia article.
Sincerely
Shahzad Aslam ShahzadCSharp (talk) 10:34, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
