[Solved] Problem with QVector<enum> return

igorland

Hello. I am facing a strange problem.

Pax.h
[code]
#ifndef PAX_H
#define PAX_H

#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QVector>

class Pax
{
public:
Pax();
~Pax();
enum pax { E, M, F, C };
QVector<pax> getSeatsArray();

private:
    pax seats[50];

};

#endif // PAX_H
[/code]

Pax.cpp
[code]
#include "Pax.h"

Pax::Pax()
: seats {E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E,
E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E}
{

}

// Return an array to the main function
QVector<pax> Pax::getSeatsArray()
{

std::vector<pax> seatsVectorStd(seats, seats + sizeof seats / sizeof seats[0]);
QVector seatsVector<pax>;
seatsVector.fromStdVector(seatsVectorStd);
return seatsVector;

qDebug() << seatsVector;

}

[/code]

So, basically, I have initialized an array. Then I do manipulations with the array changing its values. After that, I want to pass the array to the main class by first converting it into a QVector (to avoid using pointers). The problem is that Qt gives me an error in this line:

[code]
QVector<pax> Pax::getSeatsArray()
[/code]

saying: "'pax' was not declared in this scope.

Weird because everywhere else, the cpp file sees the pax as a declared enum. Hm, have no idea what is going on.

Thanks a lot!

You need to change the return type in Pax.cpp to @ QVectorPax::pax Pax::getSeatsArray()
@

By the way, why are you first creating a std::vector to fill a QVector?

Thanks! Yeah, std::vector is not needed, you are right!

Best.

Why are you using a bare C array at all?

I first created the project in Code::Blocks for a console. Now I am developing GUI and I simply copy and paste my former code. Sometimes I change the code to include Qt classes, sometime, like in this case, I just leave it as it is. But you have a valid point. Thanks!
