As noted, using global variables is generally bad engineering practice, unless absolutely needed of course (mapping hardware for example, but that doesn’t happen THAT often). Stashing everything in a class is something you would do in a Java-like language, but in C++ you don’t have to, and in fact using namespaces here is a superior … Read more
3.6.1/1 – “A program shall contain a global function called main, which is the designated start of the program. It is implementation-defined whether a program in a freestanding environment is required to define a main function.

A namespace called detail is typically used in just the same way as a namespace called internal. It’s for “internal details” that are not visible in the public interface or which, at least, should be ignored by external users.

And then restart Visual Studio. Answer was originally posted (much better) here, but posted … Read more
The two options you state are not equivalent. This one: using namespace project1::namespace1; pulls in everything from the namespace, giving you little control and making clashes likely. I see only cons, and no pros here. But you don’t need to use a typedef to bring in a single symbol, you can use using project1::namespace1::class1; Whether … Read more
If you have ReSharper installed, on the settings for the directory (F4), set Namespace Provider to false.
