Strange include problem

[lauwe]

My project will not build due to the following:

In file included from c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.2\mingw\include/QtCore/qstringlist.h:50,

c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.2\mingw\include/QtCore/qstringmatcher.h:87: error: expected ';' before 'unsigned'

The lines this points to in qstringmatcher.h are:

(61)     QStringMatcher(const QChar *uc, int len,
                   Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive)
(87)     const QChar *uc;

(61)     QStringMatcher(const QChar *uc, int len,
                   Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive)
(87)     const QChar *uc;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I really don't know what to make of this error. Does anyone have a clue ?

Most likely you forgot some ; after some instruction, at least one, here:

QStringMatcher(const QChar *uc, int len,
                   Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive)   ;

QStringMatcher(const QChar *uc, int len,
                   Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive)   ;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Possible other, before some unsigned we can't see in the code snippet you posted

It seems the problem was being caused by a library I had included that had:

#define uc unsigned char

#define uc unsigned char

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This didn't cause any problems until I (indirectly) included QStringMatcher which uses 'uc' as a variable-name.
