Structs and classes

[caolan]

I wish to define a return value for a member function to be a struct defined within the class, however I do not want to use the class in the return value.

For example I currently have to do this:

ClassA::myStruct ClassA::f() { ... }

I want to do this:

myStruct ClassA::f() { ... }

Is this possible? If so, how do i do it?

Cheers!

¿why not?
the name of your struct is ClassA::myStruct

Use an alias:

struct A { 
  struct B {};
  B f(); 
}; 

// Alias B as the nested class name A::B
using B = A::B; 
B A::f() { return {}; }
