hiding inner class implementation using namespace
- by Abruzzo Forte e Gentile
Hi all
I am developing a library and a would like to provide my users a public interface separate from the real implementatino that is hidden in a namespace. This way, I could change only the class HiddenQueue without changing myQueue that will be exposed to users only.
If I put the C++ code of HiddenQueue in the myQueue.cpp file the compiler complains saying _innerQueue has incomplete type. I thought that the linker was able to resolve this. What I am doing wrong here?
Thanks

// myQueue.h
namespace inner{
class HiddenQueue;
};
class myQueue{
public:
myQueue();
);
private:
inner::HiddenQueue _innerQueue;
};
///////////////////////////
// myQueue.cpp
namespace inner{
class HiddenQueue{};
};
