Invalid generated namespace for "CreateXXX" function for native_type table field #8915
Description
Flatbuffers v25.12.19 (master@af8997b5 too).
Consider having two fbs schemas, basic.fbs:
native_include "Bitmap.hpp"; // native basic::Bitmap implementation.
namespace basic.fbs; // have to place (basic::fbs::BitmapT) to other namespace than basic::Bitmap
table Bitmap(native_type:"basic::Bitmap") {
buffer:[uint64];
}
And includer one schema in a different directory hierarchy, includer.fbs:
include "basic.fbs";
namespace includer; // expect to have includer::TableT
table Table {
bm:basic.fbs.Bitmap (required);
}
Generating with object API and proper include directory for includer schema (to get include instruction work) produces invalid reference to CreateBitmap function in includer_generated.h:
namespace includer {
// ...
inline ::flatbuffers::Offset<Table> Table::Pack(::flatbuffers::FlatBufferBuilder &_fbb, const TableT* _o, const ::flatbuffers::rehasher_function_t *_rehasher) {
(void)_rehasher;
(void)_o;
struct _VectorArgs { ::flatbuffers::FlatBufferBuilder *__fbb; const TableT* __o; const ::flatbuffers::rehasher_function_t *__rehasher; } _va = { &_fbb, _o, _rehasher}; (void)_va;
auto _bm = _o->bm ? CreateBitmap(_fbb, _o->bm.get(), _rehasher) : 0;
return includer::CreateTable(
_fbb,
_bm);
}
...
} // namespace includerCompiler error:
/[REDACTED]/Table_generated.h: error: use of undeclared identifier 'CreateBitmap'; did you mean 'basic::fbs::CreateBitmap'?

Note: adding compiler suggested namespaces manually gives me expected (according to docs) linker errors
