How to call a namespace in a module?

help

Hello everyone,

I was wondering, how can we call a namespace in a module ? Indeed, I'd like to use std::process::exit(0) in order to cleanly exit the program inside a module function.
But when I write use std::process before pub mod sthing, the compiler tells me that process::exit(0) isn't valid.

Kind regards

Hi

Can you paste some code?

Names are relative from the current module by default. std is only brought into scope at the root. This means you have two options:

  1. Bring std into scope.'use std::process; and then process::exit(0). This is the standard style.
  2. Use :: to make the name start from the root. ::std::process::exit.

Thanks for your answers guys !

Ok, so I tried this :

use std::process;

my_mod.rs

pub my_mod{
       pub fn test(){
              process::exit(0); 
      }
}

main.rs

mod my_mod.rs
fn main(){
  my_mod::my_mod::test();     
}

But it didn't work, the compiler keeps saying that it doesn't know "std::process"
