Using ace6tao2 branch the bcc32 compiler (Borland C++ Builder) has a problem compiling the Versioned_Namespace test

[mitza-oci]

Does it work with TAO 3?

[jwillemsen]

bcc32 doesn't support C++11 so TAO3 can't be used with that compiler, only TAO2

[mitza-oci]

So this compiler requires all uses of Scope::Class::Function changed to just Class::Function within a block of namespace Scope {...}?
Do we have a scoreboard build or GitHub Actions set up using this compiler?

[jwillemsen]

We don't have a public scoreboard build, sometimes I run an internal build. Not found time yet to find the exact cause

[mitza-oci]

Does it work with an earlier release like 2.5.17 which was before the latest round of updates to valuetype code generation?

[jwillemsen]

Not sure, the new versioned namespaces test for valuetype fails, before that I haven't seen this error

[jwillemsen]

Embarcadero mentions this is a C++11 feature, the only thing that works is to use namespace A instead of A::. This could be something that more older compilers have a problem with
