--namespace option of rcc seems to be broken

Kerndog73

If I pass the --namespace option to rcc, I get this output:

bool qRegisterResourceData(int, const unsigned char *, const unsigned char *, const unsigned char *);
bool qUnregisterResourceData(int, const unsigned char *, const unsigned char *, const unsigned char *);

int qInitResources();
int qInitResources()
{
    int version = 3;
    qRegisterResourceData
        (version, qt_resource_struct, qt_resource_name, qt_resource_data);
    return 1;
}

int qCleanupResources();
int qCleanupResources()
{
    int version = 3;
    qUnregisterResourceData
       (version, qt_resource_struct, qt_resource_name, qt_resource_data);
    return 1;
}

namespace {
   struct initializer {
       initializer() { QT_RCC_MANGLE_NAMESPACE(qInitResources)(); }
       ~initializer() { QT_RCC_MANGLE_NAMESPACE(qCleanupResources)(); }
   } dummy;
}

It still uses the QT_RCC_MANGLE_NAMESPACE macro so it doesn't compile.

This seems like a bug to me. I'm using rcc 5.13.2. Has this been reported or fixed in a future version?

There doesn't seem to be much of a point in using the option because all it does is reduce the output file size by an insignificant amount. That could be why it's broken, it's unused and untested.

I don't know. You should check on Qt bug tracker: https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/QTBUG/issues/QTBUG-80648?filter=allopenissues
