Question

I have a cpp header file with a construct like this:

typedef class MyType_t {

//...

public:
    void    method();

} MyType;

I’m trying to use it from a .mm file like this:

MyType.method();

And this causes compiler error “Unknown type name ‘MyType’; did you mean ‘MyType_t’?”

The compiler seem to be able to understand “MyType_t”, but “MyType” seems not to be supported. I known only very basic c++ and don’t know exactly what this construct is for. I just downloaded this code and have to call it from objective-c.

Answer 1

The problem was that I was not calling the constructor before using MyType

So adding this

MyType MyType_t(parameter);

solved it.
