How can I use a class name Rect when there is a function has the same name

[yinglcs]

Hi,

I have a class called 'A', and it has a method called 'Rect(int x, int
y, int w, int h)'

And I have another class called 'Rect'.

When I called 'Rect* in other method of A, I get this compiler error:
void A::aMethod() {
Rect* lastRect;
// ...
}

error: 'lastRect' was not declared in this scope

I think the compiler confuses the class Rect with the method Rect.

Can you please tell me if there is a work around for my problem? I
cant' rename the class Rect or the method 'Rect' in class A since they
are both legacy code.

Thank you for any idea.

Put it in a namespace. Otherwise, you're pretty much SOL.

Try this:

::Rect* lastRect;

// ...
}
