           Summary: LLVM Source Code Should Use A C++ Namespace For Easier
                    Integration
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core LLVM classes
        AssignedTo: rspencer at x10sys.com
        ReportedBy: rspencer at x10sys.com


LLVM currently uses a log of global classes and functions. When attempting to
incorporate LLVM into a larger project or even write a compiler for it,
developers for the larger project will want to be certain that LLVM is properly
scoped and does not contribute functions/variables/classes to the global namespace. 

The change needed is to visit every header file and wrap the declaration
contents with:

namespace llvm {
...
} // End llvm namespace

Each .cpp file could use the same wrapping or just delcare 

using namespace llvm;

at the top. This will effectively handle putting everything in an "llvm" namespace.
