Hi all
I am developing a library and a would like to provide my users a public interface separate from the real implementatino that is hidden in a namespace. This way, I could change only the class HiddenQueue without changing myQueue that will be exposed to users only.
If I put the C++ code of HiddenQueue in the myQueue.cpp file the compiler complains saying _innerQueue has incomplete type. I thought that the linker was able to resolve this. What I am doing wrong here?
Thanks
Afg
// myQueue.h namespace inner{ class HiddenQueue; }; class myQueue{ public: myQueue(); ); private: inner::HiddenQueue _innerQueue; }; /////////////////////////// // myQueue.cpp namespace inner{ class HiddenQueue{}; };
