Apparent error in QtCore/quuid.h

[caduel]

please take the compile statement

g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_OPENGL_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/include/QtCore -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/include/QtCore -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/include/QtGui -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/include/QtGui -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/include/QtOpenGL -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/include/QtOpenGL -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/include -I../../libbaptools/src -I/usr/X11R6/include -I. -I. -o obj_unix/meterwindow.o meterwindow.cpp

replace the -c by -E
and -o obj_unix/meterwindow.o by -o /tmp/to_check

Then find the line "89" in quuid.h in that file. There will be some error. The error will be that something has been broken by some (unexceptedly) defined macro, e.g.
a #define uchar "some bogus text".
If you can not decipher the contents, show it to us.

Hi,
I've been trying to sort it out but no luck.
Line 89 looks fine in quuid.h

enum Version {
        VerUnknown        =-1,
        Time                = 1, // 0 0 0 1

        Name                = 3, // 0 0 1 1
        Random                = 4  // 0 1 0 0
    };
 
    QUuid()
    {
        data1 = 0;

        data3 = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
            data4[i] = 0;
    }
    QUuid(uint l, ushort w1, ushort w2, uchar b1, uchar b2, uchar b3, uchar b4, uchar b5, uchar b6, uchar b7, uchar b8) // this is line 89

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

as does the code around it.

When I run the compile command with the -E flag, there is no error and the output file contains 70000 lines. i don't know how to begin with it. that's on openSUSE. on my mac it seems to have failed to find any of the Qt header files even though their directories are linked in the g++ command.
sorry this doesn't give you much but do you have any other suggestions?

[caduel]

you have to search in that 70000 lines of code (which are what the compiler has to digest once the preprocessor is done) for your line...

you can do that in three ways:
1) just try to compile that file
2) use the file/line info (quuid.h, 89) to find that line in that (big) file.
Look for lines like

# 5 "path_to_your_qt_includes/quuid.h" 2

# 5 "path_to_your_qt_includes/quuid.h" 2

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

this means: this line correspondends to line 5 in the file quuid.h; if no more file should be included, go 84 lines further and you have found that spot
3) look into quuid.h, close to line 89; find some probably "unique" code (no macros!) and just search the big file for it
[4) post the file here as attachment... we will find out]

I found the offending item. In one of my code files I had included <QtOpenGL> as in one of the example files. When I changed this for the specific classes I need it worked fine.
Thanks for the help guys.

It shouldn't have caused you problems...
