Problems with own namespace stat

[Hansen]

Hi Group,

I've made a statistic module for our framework, and have put it in a
namespace called stat (which resides in a namespace called dao)
My problem is that now the compiler thinks that it is the struct called stat
from wchar.h that I'm refering to even though I've written
dao::stat::stat _base

I have included the stat_base.h header and have checked for using
statements, but nothing seems to work.

#include "dao/stat/stat_base.h"
namespace dao
{
[ ....]
void attach(dao::sta t::stat_base& stat_client) <--- compiler barfs
{
stat_client.att ach(this->impl_ptr());
}
}

I'm using visual C++ 2005 Express

Does anyone know what might be the problem and the solution?

Post a complete compilable test code that demonstrates your problem, you
can check it against dinku or comeau to test it out.

The code base is very large and complex - posting it here doesn't seem as an
option.
I've tested something else though. If I change the name of my namespace to
e.g. statistic it still isn't able to find it.
I'm pusled by this, since I have included my header file with the namespace
as posted above, and therefore thought it would be accesable.

Not the whole code base, just a minimal but complete program that
demonstrates your problem and nothing else, as per the FAQ guidelines:

[OT] Check your setting for "Treat wchar_t as a native type":
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dh8che7s.aspx

On Visual Studio .NET 2003, it defaulted to "off", but from what I see
they switched it in 2005, but it wouldn't hurt to check it anyway.

I might be wrong here, but since you are already in namespace dao,
won't the compiler look for stat_base in dao::dao::stat? Perhaps you
could fix it with:
void attach(::dao::s tat::stat_base& stat_client)
^^---give a fully qualified name.

I found out the problem was caused by cyclic including. Having terminated
the circle everything works fine.
