extra-cmake-modules.git/tests/GenerateSipBindings/external_lib.h, branch v5.84.0-rc1 hurd extra-cmake-modules.git Bindings: Fix handling of forward declarations 2017-01-15T11:18:50+00:00 Stephen Kelly steveire@gmail.com 2017-01-14T22:13:49+00:00 636d6acc7adf8bf7169d38833340161dc42d3484 It is not appropriate to decorate each forward declaration with the SIP attribute /External/. That is only needed for forward declarations of types which are defined in a different module. Local forward declarations can be omitted from the sip code. In sip code, a forward declaration followed later by a full class definition is an error. Omit forward declarations unless they are decorated with the external attribute. Introduce a rules database for consumers to decorate them with the attribute as required.
