# modernize-concat-nested-namespaces

Checks for use of nested namespaces such as `namespace a { namespace b { ... } }` and suggests changing to the more concise syntax introduced in C++17: `namespace a::b { ... }`. Inline namespaces are not modified.

For example:

    namespace n1 {
    namespace n2 {
    void t();
    }
    }

    namespace n3 {
    namespace n4 {
    namespace n5 {
    void t();
    }
    }
    namespace n6 {
    namespace n7 {
    void t();
    }
    }
    }

Will be modified to:

    namespace n1::n2 {
    void t();
    }

    namespace n3 {
    namespace n4::n5 {
    void t();
    }
    namespace n6::n7 {
    void t();
    }
    }
