[odb-users] field 'extra_' has incomplete type 'odb::section'

Mon Jul 5 22:24:06 EDT 2021

Hi all,

I was trying to migrate my project from odb 2.4.0 to odb 2.5.0, when I use the odb compiler I got the error message:

odb -d mysql -q --std c++11 --default-pointer std::shared_ptr&nbsp; -p "boost/date-time" -I "E:\newsdbdev\include\boost\boost1630" -I "C:\odb\release\include"&nbsp; &nbsp; baseinfo.hxx

baseinfo.hxx:564:18: error: field 'extras_' has incomplete type 'odb::section'
&nbsp; 564 |&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;odb::section extras_;
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ^~~~~~~
In file included from C:\odb\release\include/odb/core.hxx:16,
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;from baseinfo.hxx:19:
C:\odb\release\include/odb/forward.hxx:38:9: note: forward declaration of 'class odb::section'
&nbsp; &nbsp;38 |&nbsp; &nbsp;class section;

the section is defined just as the ODB manual described , and it works fine in ODB 2.4.0.

&nbsp;const odb::section&amp;	extras_section() const { return extras_; }
&nbsp; &nbsp; odb::section&amp; extras_section() { return extras_; }
&nbsp; &nbsp; const odb::nullable<buffer&gt;&amp; Img_data() const { return img_data_; }
&nbsp; &nbsp; void Img_data(odb::nullable<buffer&gt; val) { img_data_=val; extras_.change(); }

#pragma db section(extras_)
&nbsp; &nbsp; odb::nullable<buffer&gt; img_data_;&nbsp;

#pragma db load(lazy) update(change)
&nbsp; &nbsp; odb::section extras_;

I also checked the source code of 2.4 and 2.5, and found nothing different in this part. Can anybody help me on this? thanks a lot!

Regards,
Wang
