typedef question

[MarkoSan]

I've added this line of code into a header file:

//! new type declaration
typedef QMap<QString, QVariant> settingsType;

//! new type declaration
typedef QMap<QString, QVariant> settingsType;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and I get following errors:

Why typedef is not working??!!

[wysota]

You have an error earlier in your code, probably a missing semicolon after a class declaration.

Well the only errors are found in header file CApplicationSettings.h:

in line 28 and then in file settingdefs.h:

in line 10. And wysota, is this "design" of application settings class (i will reuse it in further projects, like my cdatabasefoundation class) ok or can you give me some useful hints?

[ChristianEhrlicher]

QVariant include is missing

[MarkoSan]

I've included it, same result, god damn, this must be some stupid mistake ...

[ChristianEhrlicher]

Ok, then something in global.h must be wrong
