Qt plugin does not handle class with same name and different folders/namespaces

[jepessen]

I'm creating in Visual Studio a Qt project with the Qt plugin version 1.2.4.

This is my folder structure:

@ src
|
|-Class.h -- It defines Class
|-Class.cpp
|
|-Private
|-Class.h -- It defines Private::Class
|-Class.cpp@

In src/Class.h I use the pimpl idion in order to use Private::Class and putting here logic.

Both Class and Private::Class are qobjects, so I declare Q_OBJECT in both headers. But the plugin creates only one moc header. It creates moc_Class.cpp in both cases and mocs overwrite each other.

I there a way to handle with the qt plugin different classes in different folders and namespace but with the same name, or I must be forced to use unique names for all classes of my project?

Hi,

Unfortunately the meta-object compiler doesn't handle namespaces.

This has been discussed before, and some workarounds proposed: http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/6753-moc-with-same-file-names

I understand. Then I'll check filenames in order to avoid collisions. If I want to study this feature and try to find a way for moc to handle namespaces and/or folders, which file I should check in Qt source? moc.cpp or another one?
