Errr, I need a test case, it works fine here.
I also need to know what compiler version, etc, you are using.

The workaround is to quote it, or remove the filename: from the front
(or both).
C++ functions with the same name must be the same function, by the
one definition rule, so prefixing it like that is pointless.

Regardless, even if the workaround works, some more information would
be helpful, since i can't reproduce this problem with any compilers i
have around here.
