expected unqualified-id before ';' token

[Sorut]

Hi everybody,

one task in my current project is to use a special network library. When the basic header for this library is included, the mentioned error appears. The error points to the following variable declaration in the header file:

char *slots;

Normally It would be possible to use the no_keywords config. But in this case it is not possible. The project is an add-on for a certain software, which uses Qt with the keywords enabled. Setting the no_keywords config breaks compiling.

Is there any way, to tell Qt/moc/whatever to ignore the slots variable in the third party library?

Help is very much appreciated

@Sorut Maybe you could undefine the "slots" macro (#undef slots) before including that header file and then defining it again after the include.

How do I redefine the slots Macro?

[jsulm]

@Sorut You could try to include qobjectdefs.h (corelib/kernel/) where slots macro is defined.

[Sorut]

I tried:
#undef slots

<fancy includes>

#define slots Q_SLOTS

So far the compiler is satisfied. I'll run some tests if it works at the end.

Seems to work nice.

@jsulm Thank you very much for your help.
