syntax question

[AeonFlux1212]

In the line pLoopUnit = ::getUnit(pUnitNode->m_data);, the function getUnit gets called, but I don't know which one gets called, as there's more than one definition (or classes that has a definition for it) in the code I'm reading. So my question is, what does the :: stand for in the above line of code? What does it do? Does it give us a hint on which getUnit gets called?

Thanks!

It means the one in the global namespace. Usually, a namespace name/class name/whatever goes before the :: but putting nothing there refers to the global namespace.
