This allows RexxActivation * to be used in prototypes since there is enough information available for that purpose. To get the full definition of RexxActivation, you would need to replace "class RexxActivation" with "#include "RexxActivation.hpp". However, I suspect doing that will result in some circular dependencies between the two header files.Indeed.Any you would probably need to define Activity as friend to the RexxActivation class to make that enum visible. Given the relationship between RexxActivation and Activity, and that both classes need the information, having the enum defined in RexxActivation feels like the wrong place to for that to be located. It feels like it should belong in Activity. However, those values are really only used for things created for RexxActivation. A better solution would be to refactor the code a bit. Activity::traceOutput() . The first two lines of TraceOutput deal with the creation of the TraceObject, which really should be something that the RexxActivation is responsible for. Move the stuff involved with that to RexxActivation and then only pass the constructed TraceObject to the traceOutput() method which is now just responsible for handling the output. Now there's no need for TracePrefix to be visible outside of RexxActivation.There are the following places in Activity that cause the use of traceOutput() directly and indirectly: * wholenumber_t Activity::error() /** Force error termination on an activity, returning the resulting REXX error code. * @return The resulting Rexx error code. */ * wholenumber_t Activity::error(ActivationBase *activation, DirectoryClass *errorInfo) /** Force error termination on an activity, returning the resulting REXX error code. * @param activation The activation raising the error. * @param errorInfo The directory containing the error condition information. * @return The Rexx error code. */ * wholenumber_t Activity::displayCondition(DirectoryClass *errorInfo) /** Display error information and traceback lines for a Syntax condition. * @param errorInfo The condition object with the error information * @return The major error code for the syntax error, if this is indeed a syntax conditon. */ * void Activity::display(DirectoryClass *exobj) ... /** Display information from an exception object. *@param exobj The exception object. */ * void Activity::displayDebug(DirectoryClass *exobj) /** Display information about an error in interactive debug. @param exobj The exception */+Only the last two of these are relevant, since the others just call those. If the creation of the trace object is a method of RexxActivation(), that method is just called to get the information needed by traceOutput().
ah, ok, thank you! ---rony
