identifier' : is not a class or namespace name
Syntax requires a class, structure, union, or namespace name.
The following sample generates C2653:
// C2653.cpp
// compile with: /c
class yy {
void func1(int i);
};
void xx::func1(int m) {} // C2653
void yy::func1(int m) {} // OK
C2653 is also possible if you try to define a compound namespace; compound namespaces are not allowed in C++:
// C2653b.cpp
namespace a::b {int i;} // C2653
namespace a {
namespace b {
int i;
}
}
int main() {
a::b::i = 2;
}
