Why only classes and functions are allowed in namespaces unlike variables ?

namespace A {
 int x;
}
namespace B {
 int x;
}

I suggest you read the documentation again:

Namespaces

A namespace is a specially declared area, within which various IDs are defined: variables, functions, classes, etc. It is set using the namespace keyword:

namespace name of_space { 
  // list of function, class and variable definitions
}

Then please explain what the problem is, in more detail and some sample code to reproduce the problem. Your original post does not explain anything. All it is, is a simple question but no explanation and some code which does not demonstrate anything.

The code I wrote simply doesn't compile saying that the variable x was already defined

Ok, I see what you mean. The compiler throws an error " 'x' - variable already defined ".

Lets wait for some one else to confirm this, and whether this is related to the current build or it happens on all builds.

EDIT: I'm going to downgrade my MetaEditor to see if it happens in older builds.

Thank you man
 

Ok! I tested it against several past builds and all of them throw the same error.

So, I am going to assume this is a bug, and ask @Alain Verleyen to confirm this, just in case we are the ones not understanding it correctly, and ask him to communicate it to the admins if possible.

 
Confirmed and reported.
