    Red face forbids declaration of QHash with no type

    Dear,

    I'm trying to solve this error... I cannot understand what is going wrong... please help me to solve it ! Probably it is only a stupid syntatical error but I cannot see it...

    Here is the code:

    Qt Code:
    1. #ifndef _STA_SCENARIO_MANOEUVREPLAN_H_
    2. #define _STA_SCENARIO_MANOEUVREPLAN_H_
    3.  
    4. #include "scenarioobject.h"
    5.  
    6. enum StaManoeuvreType
    7. {
    8. STA_MANOEUVRE_DURATION = 1000,
    9. STA_MANOEUVRE_DELTAV = 1001,
    10. STA_MANOEUVRE_V_POSITION = 1002,
    11. STA_MANOEUVRE_R_POSITION = 1003,
    12. STA_MANOEUVRE_V_R_POSITION = 1004,
    13. STA_MANOEUVRE_V_R_DURATION = 1005
    14. };
    15.  
    16. class ScenarioManoeuvre;
    17.  
    18. class ScenarioManoeuvrePlan : public ScenarioObject
    19. {
    20. public:
    21. ScenarioManoeuvrePlan();
    22. ~ScenarioManoeuvrePlan();
    23.  
    24. const QList<ScenarioManoeuvre*>& manoeuvres() const { return m_manoeuvres; }
    25. void setName(QString name){m_name=name;}
    26. void addManoeuvre(ScenarioManoeuvre* manoeuvre);
    27.  
    28. QString name()const {return m_name;}
    29. QList<ScenarioManoeuvre*> manoeuvresList() const{return m_manoeuvres;}
    30. QHash<QString, StaManoeuvreType>* typeMap()const {return hash;}
    31. QHash<QString, QString>* nameMap()const {return hashName;}
    32. QStringList inputsName()const {return inputs;}
    33.  
    34. virtual QTreeWidgetItem* createItemSelf(QTreeWidgetItem* parent);
    35. virtual void createItemContents(QTreeWidgetItem* item);
    36.  
    37. private:
    38. QString m_name;
    39. QList<ScenarioManoeuvre*> m_manoeuvres;
    40. QHash<QString, StaManoeuvreType>* hash;
    41. QHash<QString, QString>* hashName;
    42. QStringList inputs;
    43. };
    44.  
    45. #endif // _STA_SCENARIO_MANOEUVREPLAN_H_

    ok....

    I solve the problem including:

    Qt Code:
    1. #include<QHash>
    2. #include<QStringList>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 


    but I have one more question...
    Before I added "hash" and "hashName", I had only QString and QList object in my header file. Why I don't have to include this classes? It worked withouth the declaration
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QString>
    2. #include <QList>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Why QHash and QStringList need it?

    Thanks

    Default Re: forbids declaration of QHash with no type

    If you use a (any) Qt-class, in a header you usually need to include its header.

    Exceptions are:
    * if you only use a pointer or reference or return type, a forward declaration is enough.

    Qt Code:
    1. class X
    2. {
    3. QString s; // needs include
    4. QTreeView *tv; // forward decl "class QTreeView;" is enough
    5. QHash<QString,QList<int> > hash; // needs includes for QString, QList and QHash
    6. QString getName() const; // forward declaration enough
    7. };
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Sometimes you get away without including a header, namely if you include other headers that in turn include the header you would need.
    Still, I consider it good practice to explicitly include any header of a class that is explicitly used in a class.

    In your case: QStringList inherits QList. Therefore its header must include the QList-header. Thus you do not have to include it.
    QString is part of QStringList as well.

    HTH
