             Summary: [C++ binding] Nested complex types fail compilation with "incomplete type" error
                 Key: PROTON-1840
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1840
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: cpp-binding
            Reporter: Kim van der Riet
            Assignee: Alan Conway


When using nested complex types (for example, a list of maps or an array of lists), the compiler fails to compile. For example, the following code snippet (saved as {{ctt.cpp}}):
{noformat}
#include <map>
#include <vector>
#include <proton/types.hpp>

int main(int, char**) {
    std::map<proton::value, proton::value> m1 = {{uint8_t(0), "zero"}, {uint8_t(1), "one"}};
    std::map<proton::value, proton::value> m2 = {{true, "true"}, {false, "false"}};
    std::vector<std::map<proton::value, proton::value> > am = {m1, m2};
    proton::value pv = am;
}{noformat}
fails compilation with the following error:
{noformat}
