A Slice module maps to a C++ namespace. The mapping preserves the nesting of the Slice definitions. For example:
Slice
module M1
{
module M2
{
// ...
}
// ...
}
// ...
module M1 // Reopen M1
{
// ...
}
This definition maps to the corresponding C++ definition:
C++
namespace M1
{
namespace M2
{
// ...
}
// ...
}
// ...
namespace M1 // Reopen M1
{
// ...
}
If a Slice module is reopened, the corresponding C++ namespace is reopened as well.
