Could two dynamic libraries with class with the same name be linked in the same program?

If I have two dynamic libraries which provided by two different suppliers, and they have one class with the same name, and they have no namespace. And I want to use these two classes together in one program at the same time.So could it work?

If it could, how would I write my CMakeList to do the link?

@FantasticMrFox title and body say "dynamic libraries". Does that not mean dynamic linkage? – starball Apr 17 '23 at 03:15
Yes, dynamic linkage – f1msch Apr 17 '23 at 03:16
@user `what binary format(s) are these shared libraries in?` I really don't know how to find out? Is there any instructions? I'm running in linux. – f1msch Apr 17 '23 at 03:20

okay so do you ever have to deal with DLLs? – starball Apr 17 '23 at 03:31
@user it does indeed. Need to read closer. – Fantastic Mr Fox Apr 17 '23 at 03:59
