C++ circular dependency - namespace vs struct
- by Dead or Alive
Please educate me. Why does this compile:
struct compiles
{
struct A;
struct B
{
B(const A &a) : member(a.member) { }
int member;
};
struct A
{
A(const B &b) : member(b.member) { }
int member;
};
};
while this does not:
namespace doesnt
{
struct A;
struct B
{
B(const A &a) : member(a.member) { }
int member;
};
struct A
{
A(const B &b) : member(b.member) { }
int member;
};
}
