I am using Clang as a syntax checker in my C++ project. It's called through Flycheck in Emacs, and I am getting an annoying use of undeclared identifier
error, the following Minimal Working Example to illustrates the problem:
In file testnamepace.cpp
:
#include "testnamespace.hpp"
int main() {
const unsigned DIM = 3;
testnamespace::A<DIM> a;
a.f();
a.g();
return 0;
}
In file testnamespace.hpp
:
#ifndef testnamespace_h
#define testnamespace_h
#include <iostream>
namespace testnamespace {
// My code uses lots of templates so this MWE uses a class template
template <unsigned DIM> class A;
}
template <unsigned DIM>
class testnamespace::A{
public:
static const unsigned dim = DIM;
A() {std::cout << "A(): dim = " << dim << std::endl;}
// in my case some functions are defined in a .hpp file...
void f() {
std::cout << "call f()" << std::endl;
}
// ...and others are defined in a .ipp file
void g();
};
#include "testnamespace.ipp"
#endif
In file testnamespace.ipp
:
template <unsigned DIM>
void testnamespace::A<DIM>::g() {
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this results in the following error:
// testnamespace.ipp:2:6:error: use of undeclared identifier 'testnamespace' (c/c++-clang)
std::cout << "g()" << std::endl;
}
Since the code compiles with no warning using g++ -Wall testnamespace.cpp -o testnamespace
(gcc version 4.7.2) I am wondering if this is an error in my coding or if it's just a 'feature' of using Clang.
