"Always full" was kinda ambiguous. It could either mean that the name will be
always full (shortening effectively disabled), or that the shortening will be
performed to the maximum extent (as it was).
Namespace shortening was kinda ok for function names produced by MSVC, which
are generally clean looking. However, gcc/clang like to produce function names
which include template arguments, function parameters, return values, etc. In
such cases the old algorithm simply didn't work, because removal of everything
before the last :: could as well happen in midst of function parameters list.
The result was certainly not an usable function name.
With this new approach namespaces are no longer explicitly mentioned and this
functionality is simply called zone name shortening.
The user-selectable options were changed to make the shortening always
enabled, disabled, or to apply as needed. Note that the "as needed" approach
will be dynamic, trying to gradually remove more and more from the name, until
it fits in the requested area.
Current implementation is only the first step into making this work. In this
first step the function parameters are reduced to () and the template
arguments are reduced to <>. This alone greatly improves readability of the
zone names.
The option to reduce namespaces to one letter (i.e. std::tr1::hash would
become s:t:hash) will no longer be present, now or in the future.
