Unresolved external symbol "public: virtual struct QMetaObject const * __thiscall Parent

Question

I inherited a class from QObject :

class Parent: public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    QObject* cl;

public:
    Parent(QObject *parent=0):QObject(parent) {
            


        

Answer 1

This happened to me recently when switching from MingW to MSVC. I had a prototyped class/struct listed as a class, and MingW didn't mind.

MSVC definitely sees a difference between class and struct when prototyping is concerned.

Hope that helps someone else one day.
