Hi,
How can I import two modules contain the same definitions for some func and

for example
import std.c.windows.windows;
import win;

Here are some ideas (choose your favorite or mix-and-match):


1. Don't import std.c.windows.windows.

(But I'm sure you already tried this.)


2. Don't import win

(But I'm sure you already tried this, too.)


3. Use module names when accessing imported items:

When you use something from win, access it like this: "win.something".
When you use something from std.c.windows.windows, access it like this: 
"std.c.windows.windows.something" (yeah, it's a mouthful).

4. Use alias tricks to shorten module names.

     alias std.c.windows.windows stdw;
     alias win w;

Now, you can access items like this: "w.something" and "stdw.something".


5. Use alias tricks to choose a "default" for each symbol:

     alias std.c.window.windows.something something;

Now, you when you mention "something", D knows you mean 
"std.c.window.windows.something".


6. "version-out" the conflicting symbols within the win module:

     version(STANDALONE) int something();

Now, the compiler won't compile in "something" unless you compile with 
the STANDALONE version.


I'm sure someone will remind me of all of the options that I forgot.

import win;

If the function names are the same, you just have to explicitly specify which
one you are referring to:

int variable=win.foo();
int another_variable=std.c.windows.windows.foo();

Note:
If you find that typing std.c.windows.windows every time is annoying, you can
alias it like this: alias std.c.windows.windows winfunc;
then use winfunc.foo(); // refers to std.c.windows.windows.foo();

Hope it helps :) .
