Will someone please tell me what this means an how to fix it? I just don't understand what I am doing wrong...
Reading Custom structures
Author
Okay, I have managed to isolate 2 errors in my header file:
In file included from main.cpp:8:
item.h: In member function `bool ItemsData::LoadItems()':
item.h:90: error: expected primary-expression before "char"
item.h:90: error: expected `)' before "char"
Here is the file:
It's complaining because in your 'read' call you're passing a data-type to it rather than an actual object (i.e. you're passing the struct type 'item'). You need to create an 'item' object to use (i.e. like you did in the write function).
Then the next problem you'll find is that the 'read & push' line itself won't compile. Fstream's read function doesn't actually return the object you want to push onto the stack (I think it returns the number of bytes read or something like that). To make it work, you need to do this operation in two steps (i.e. read call in one line, then push the read object in the next line).
Hope this helps, dude.
