I've looked for documentation on this error, since I've just encountered it. I could upload the preprocessed version of the source code, but the basic jist of it is as follows:

namespace Foo
{
  class Layer
  {
  public:
    Layer();
    virtual ~Layer();
  };
};

namespace Foo
{
  Layer::Layer()  /* <-- here's where error is encoutered */
  {
   // various initialization code
  }
}

Any clues as to what causes the compiler to complain and what can I do to hack around it?

What is the error you are getting?
I am pretty sure I have this in code several times and no problems what-so-ever...

The subject string is the exact error message I'm getting. It just so happens that the namespace isn't "Foo", it's "FLAPPS". And the code is similar to what I have (except it's a little more complex.)


namespace 'FLAPPS' does not enclose '?0' of namespace 'FLAPPS'

I could post the listing file, at the risk of polluting the newsgroup with my code. If it would help...

Here's the compiler's output. I tried to get a sane listing file, but it's incomplete.

Try to add a ';'

But as for me and my household, we shall use Mozilla... www.mozilla.org

It turns out that I was missing a '}' at the end of a much earlier header file. I realize that one trades something for speed (TANSTAAFL), but error messages could be a little bit better, e.g., hit the end of the file and scopes arent closed (seems to be the problem in this case.)

Another small nit is when an error occurs in a header file, it'd be nice to see the header stack that led up to the error.

For an inexpensive compiler and IDDE (and I bought the CD), it ain't bad.

Also, this error message does need to show up in the documentation.
