I can forward declare a function in a namespace by doing this: void myNamespace::doThing();

  • 0

I can forward declare a function in a namespace by doing this:

void myNamespace::doThing();

which is equivalent to:

namespace myNamespace
{
  void doThing();
}

To forward declare a class in a namespace:

namespace myNamespace
{
  class myClass;
}

Is there a shorter way to do this? I was thinking something along the lines of:

class myNamespace::myClass;

    No, however with a little reformatting

    namespace myNamespace { class myClass; }
    

    isn’t much worse than

    class myNamespace::myClass;
