how:Name function after API name??

[happycpp]

hi everyone.. I'm working on a project to make a dll that contains some functions...I want to name some functions the same name that some APIs do.. e.g. I want to make my own "FormatMessage" function in my dll...

Put them in a namespace. It's still a terrible idea. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

I actually don't know how to do that could you write a simple function using this way...

namespace ThisIsAHorribleIdea { void MyAPIFunction() { } } Now you need to call it like this : ThisIsAHorribleIdea::MyhAPIFunction(); And if you don't know what a namespace is, you should buy a beginners book on C++ and read it before you go any further.
