cInput::cInput()
{
m_pDI->Clear();
}
I thought constructors had no return types?!
Author
Hello there,
When I tried to compile the code from my engine I got the error
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
And it points to this piece of code (actually, the '{'):
How come this error turns up? I've always thought constructors and destructors have no return type, and my code has always worked...

The error is probably somewhere before your constructor, such as a missing brace or semi-colon.
It isn't recognizing cInput() as a constructor. There are several reasons this might be the case...most notably, did you include the proper header?

Your problem most likely exists elsewhere. Check your header files sometimes when there is an error in them it wont get that and place the error in the first cpp file. The easy way to check for that is to just move the function last and see if he complains on the same function again.

Ok, I'll give you guys the complete pipeline:
Everything starts in WinMain.cpp:
Let's have a look at Core_Global.h:
It includes all the DirectX headers and my own, Core_Input:
All the functions of these classes are defined inside Core_Input.cpp:
And there we are at the place of the error. So somewhere in these parts of the code should the error be...I've been searching my ass of and I think it's something rather stupid[grin].

It also throws up the error:
error C2227: left of '->Clear' must point to class/struct/union/generic type, so the class cInput is probably not defined/declared correctly...

Core_Input.cpp does not know that cInput is a class because you have not included the appropriate header from Core_Input.cpp. Assuming the code you posted is accurate, at least.
As suggested, you are not including the proper headers. Core_Input.cpp needs to include Core_Input.h, or else it won't know anything about cInput.

I thought including a header in one cpp file was enough...But thanks[smile], let's see if it works...
---EDIT---
No it didn't. I actually got 165 errors more then I had before...More of them default -int ones.

Are you sure the compiler is expecting C++ code? From the looks of that error message, it seems as if the compiler thinks it deals with C code.

Yes, I'm sure...I'm usingMicrosoft Visual Studio C++ EE with the same stats I always work with.
