[Qt-interest] Fwd: what is wrong with qt containers

[Oluwafemi Ade]

in .h file :
*class* * QMap<QString, int>;
**static QMap<QString, int> converter;
*
somewhere in .cpp file:
*#include <QMap>

converter.insert("January", 0);
converter.insert("February", 1);
converter.insert("March", 2);
converter.insert("April", 3);
converter.insert("May", 4);
converter.insert("June", 5)*;

compilers errors so plenty, but here is some
*'invalid use of incomplete type class QMap<QString, int>' ---it refers to
the insert lines
declaration of 'class QMap<QString, int>'   it refers to qmap.h*

 and so many others like that, as a matter  of fact, anywhere a container is
declared and used, it does just that
