AST parser error - namespace alias '::TimerBase'

[Bertk]

Parser fails if a namespace alias (global namespace) is used (works with VC 12.0/14.0).

using TimerBase = boost::timer::auto_cpu_timer;
// removing '::' from '::TimerBase' does not create the C++ parser failure 
class  MyTimer : public ::TimerBase
{
public:
    MyTimer(const std::wstring& strName,
             const std::wstring& strMessage);
    ~MyTimer();
private:
// some more

};

Think the parser don't know something from namespace alias (at least at the usage). Error should also occur with 'class MyTimer : public ::TimerBase' alone? Can you verify this please?

[Bertk]

I fixed the first problem but this is not a complete fix for this issue. The 'class MyTimer : public ::TimerBase' still creates a parser failure.

  -->  class MyTimer : public ::TimerBase;EOF

This works 😇

class MyTimer : public ::TimerBase {};

@Bertk Should we close this or keep it open?

We can close this issue - solution 08d5d6c is merged.
