[zeromq-dev] conflict between 0MQ and Qt4 C++ libraries?

[Aamir M]

Hello,
I think there might be a conflict between the 0MQ C++ library and the Qt4
C++ GUI libraries. I am using Qt's  latest LGPL SDK (qtsdk-2009.01). The
following simple program fails to compile with g++ 4.1.2:

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <zmq.hpp>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    return a.exec();
}

The compiler returns the following error:

g++ -c -m64 -pipe -g -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB
-DQT_SHARED -I/opt/qtsdk-2009.01/qt/mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I.
-I/opt/qtsdk-2009.01/qt/include/QtCore -I/opt/qtsdk-2009.01/qt/include/QtGui
-I/opt/qtsdk-2009.01/qt/include -Idebug -I. -o debug/main.o main.cpp
/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp: In member function ‘bool
zmq::poller_t<T>::process_event(zmq::i_pollable*, zmq::event_t)’:
/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:268: error: expected unqualified-id before
‘protected’
/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:269: error: expected primary-expression

/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:269: error: expected `)' before

/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:269: error: expected `)' before ‘;’ token
/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:276: error: expected primary-expression
before ‘protected’
/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:276: error: expected `)' before
‘protected’
make[1]: *** [debug/main.o] Error 1


HOWEVER, I can get the program to compile if I reverse the order of the
include statements so that it reads:

#include <zmq.hpp>
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    return a.exec();
}


The "offending" lines in the 0MQ poller.hpp file are:

/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:268: uint32_t signals = signaler.check ();
/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:269: assert (signals);
/usr/local/include/zmq/poller.hpp:276: if (signals & (1 <<
source_thread_id)) {

It might be a namespace collision with Qt's "signals/slots" mechanism.

Thanks,
Aamir
