LabRat 'Gotcha' moc not seeing namespace.

Dusty

Hello everyone!
I am new at this, so please feel free to clout me one over the head if I'm mistaken here!

I just found out that having a macro declared for a namespace seems to cause the moc compiler some grief.

eg;

@#define MY_BEGIN_NAMESPACE namespace MyNamespace {
#define MY_END_NAMESPACE }@

implementation:
@#ifndef MY_TOOLS_H
#define MY_TOOLS_H

#include <QObject>

#include "CommonDefinitionsQT.h"

MY_BEGIN_NAMESPACE

class MyTools : public QObject
{
...
}

MY_END_NAMESPACE
@

causes:
error C2653: 'MyTools' : is not a class or namespace name

Copied from the moc source file:
@// enum data: key, value
79, uint(MyTools::CRC_None),
88, uint(MyTools::CRC_8_Bit),
@

As you can see, I have a few Q_ENUMS() declared.
As it seems, it is not appending the namespace to the 'MyTools class or adding a 'using namespace' declaration to the moc file.

I'm using the latest version of QT with the Visual Studio edition.

By the way, I got this nifty idea from the QXT library where they seem to be using this just fine, so what am I doing wrong?

without changing your defines, ... try this
@
#ifndef MY_TOOLS_H
#define MY_TOOLS_H

#include <QObject>

#include "CommonDefinitionsQT.h"

MY_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
class MyTools;
MY_END_NAMESPACE

class MyTools : public QObject
{
...
};
#endif // MY_TOOLS_H

You missed ";" at the end of class definition.

corrected immediately :p

Thanks chetankjain for your response, I will give this a try over the weekend.

Regarding the ";" My apologies lyuts, this was just an oversight while typing into the forum, my code of course contains a ";" at the end of the class.

I will post a reply once I'm in a position to compile.

Cheers.

its funny actually I too posted my code with a missing ; at the end of the class definition too, but corrected immediately :)

Dusty

Well I recompiled and it works like a charm!.

Thanks for your help on the subject. I knew it would be a rookie mistake :)

I reckon the ";" is one of the most time wasting characters in the whole c language, I have spent hours tracking down these little you know whats... but I guess that why we like it!

Cheers.
