QTypeInfo error on GCC

Xumepoc

@JonB I get the errors in qtypeinfo.h

/gcc_64/include/QtCore/qtypeinfo.h:265: error: specialization of ‘template<class T> class QTypeInfo’ in different namespace [-fpermissive]
 class QTypeInfo<TYPE > \
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/gcc_64/include/QtCore/qtypeinfo.h:265: error: explicit specialization of ‘template<class T> class QTypeInfo’ outside its namespace must use a nested-name-specifier [-fpermissive]
 class QTypeInfo<TYPE > \
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and in type_traits

/usr/include/c++/8/type_traits:661: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘class QPoint’
     struct is_trivial
            ^~~~~~~~~~

I don't get any errors in my code.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I did not compile the source code, this is 5.14.2 installed through the installer.

I never said this.

You're trying to compile some code. This code triggers a warning inside the Qt headers. So simplify your code until the error is no longer triggered and the fix your code.

Yes, that would be a solution, if the project was started in Linux and complied with GCC. But as I said in my previous post, this project was originally written in Windows and compiled with MSVS where that error does not occurs. So I am not sure at what step during the development phase of the project the effect would appear if it was compiled with GCC in the first place.

Hi,

In that case, keep only a bare main.cpp file and gradually add back your other files until it breaks.

Xumepoc

Yeah, I guess that is what I will have to do....

Have you not considered using a newer version of GCC? I'm not sure on the specifics on the changes between 8 and 11 (for example), but it would be worth a shot, considering I have never had an issue in Qt triggered by a fault in GCC (which is the compiler I have Qt set to use).

sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"?

Christian Ehrlicher

@Xumepoc Again: you compile a your source files on linux. So look which source file generates the error and strip it down until it no longer occurs - daily programmers business.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I didn't expect anyone to debug my code, just if someone had encountered the same issues or have some guidance.

or have some guidance.

We have (and told you already a lot of times) - take a look from where the error comes from and fix it.

@Xumepoc
I did ask you earlier where from your own code does the #include which leads to this error appear, but never got an answer.

Never mind. I believe/suggest you might find your situation is reported on this forum in Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO and namespaces - how does it work? from 2012? I suggest you read there. The final post indicates to me there is a change which will allow your code to compile under GCC as well as MSVC:

Case 2: I did forget the semicolon after the Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO. This case now works on both compilers. Thanks!
