moc stumbles on _GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY

    • Type: Bug
    • Status: Reported
    • Priority: P2: Important
    • Resolution: Unresolved

      Description

      There is at least one distribution that add GCC's C++ headers on CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH.

      When 'moc' encounters the _GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY macro, it trips and fails with a "Parse error before <token>" where token is the word just before _GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY.

      An easy fix for this problem is:

      diff --git a/src/tools/moc/main.cpp b/src/tools/moc/main.cpp
--- a/src/tools/moc/main.cpp
+++ b/src/tools/moc/main.cpp
@@ -188,6 +188,7 @@ int runMoc(int argc, char **argv)
     dummyVariadicFunctionMacro.arguments += Symbol(0, PP_IDENTIFIER, "__VA_ARGS__");
     pp.macros["__attribute__"] = dummyVariadicFunctionMacro;
     pp.macros["__declspec"] = dummyVariadicFunctionMacro;
+    pp.macros["_GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY"] = dummyVariadicFunctionMacro;
 
     QString filename;
     QString output

      GLIBCXX_VISIBILITY is a preprocessor macro that expands to _attribute_ which is already ignored by moc.

      Should I send this patch through Gerrit?
