What is stopping you from doing that?

I also failed to build ponder-v3.0.0 on visual studio 2019. Then I tried to build it on visual studio 2015 and it also failed. The error happened while building the "args.cpp".
I think it failed on forward declaration for "ponder::Value". Then I digged into source then find that "ponder::Value" dependent on "ponder::UserObject", "ponder::UserObject" dependent on "ponder::Args" and "ponder::Value", "ponder::Args" dependent on "Ponder::Value". So @billyquith used forward declaration in the "args.hpp" for "ponder::Value".
However, I don't understand how std::vector instantiate while missing "ponder::Value" definition.

I try the code below. It do failed.

`
// Foo.h
#pragma once
struct Foo {
int v_;
}

// FooList.h
#pragma once
#include

struct Foo;
struct FooList {
void push_back(Foo &f);

std::vector<Foo> vec_foo_;

};

// FooList.cpp
#include "FooList.hpp"
#include "Foo.hpp"

void FooList::push_back(Foo &f) {
vec_foo_.push_back(f);
}

// main.cpp
#include "FooList.hpp"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
FooList list;
return 0;
}
