anonymous namespaces and scope resolution question

[2b|!2b==?]

I have the following declaration in a header file (MyClass.h)

//contents of MyClass.h
class MyClass
{
public:
MyClass()
MyClass(const MyClass&);
...
};
typedef std::vector<MyClass> MyClassVect;
typedef MyClassVect::iterator MyClassVectIter;
typedef MyClassVect::const_iterator MyClassVectConstIter;



//Contents of souce file (AnotherFile.cpp)
#include "MyClass.h"

namespace
{
MyClassVector classes ;
classes.push_back(new MyClass()); //syntax error : missing ';' before '.'
.......
}

The type of variable 'classes' is not recognized as a vector (as
specified in the declaration), but rather as an int (i.e. int
'anonymous-namespace'::classes).

question is - how may I use a variable of the types declared in
"MyClass.h" ?

I'm afraid you can place only declarations inside a namespace (whether
anonymous or not).

Can you mark the line where you declared/defined MyClassVector?

That was a typo. MyClassVector should read MyClassVect in the source
file "AnotherFile.cpp"

file "AnotherFile.cpp"

Sorry, but I do not see how MyClassVector reads MyClassVect, and your
example does not compile to show that.

Maybe someone else see whats going on there

Too many problems with this code to say what is going on as others have
pointed out. Please provide compilable (even with the error) code that
demonstrates the problem.
1. MyClassVect != MyClassVector
2. classes.push_back... executable code outside a function body.
3. no main.
