Hi all,

Is this legal (including the namespace in the forward declarion):

namespace NS
{
class NS:ForwardDeclaratedClass;
};

Other file:
namespace NS
{
class ForwardDeclaratedClass
{
};
};

Spurious 'NS:' aside yes.

Couple of things wrong with your code.

Its a namespace not a class the semicolon isn't required.

And that's what I wrote (to drop the unnecessary semicolons), am I missing
your point?

Sharad, In case you're wondering why that mistake was made, you used the
phrase "No semicolon here". That's an incomplete sentence in English, and
it can be interpreted in two different ways. Either: "There is no semicolon
here, but there should be, so you should add it.", or "No semicolon is
required or desired here, so you should remove it." He apparently thought
you meant the first, but you actually meant the second.

Howard,
I know that the sentence was incomplete. But I think that the context in
which I was talking was pretty clear. Interpreting it as "There is no
semicolon here, but there should be, so you should add it." would mean that
I have some problem in my eye sight which isn't the case actually. No
offense meant.
