MT5 Problem when including enumeration after build 2170

New comment

Hi, after build 2170 my code is not compiling anymore.

I am getting erros on the usage on enumeration, it is not recognizing an include of a custom enumeration.


Example:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//|   ClassA                                                      |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

class ClassA

  {

private:

public: 

   enum ENUM_TEST {TESTA,TESTB}; // List of structure type



   void              ClassA(void){};

   void             ~ClassA(void){};           // Destructor

  };


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//|   ClassB                                                         |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

#include <ClassA.mqh>

class ClassB

  {

private:

   ENUM_TEST            test;               // Default category

public:

   void              ClassB(void) {};

   void             ~ClassB(void) {};          // Destructor

  };


Compilation ERROR:

'ENUM_TEST' - unexpected token, probably type is missing? ClassB.mqh 8 4


Tks.

 ENUM_TEST have been defined in the scope of ClassA. If you want to access it globally put it outside of the class.

    Either do as Ehsan suggests, or use proper scoping

    class ClassB{
 private:
   ClassA::ENUM_TEST            test;               // Default category
