Class Problem
Author
Hi,
I''m trying to get a class up and working in my game but it does''t realise I''m trying to make a class, and I get errors when I compile. Here is the code if anyone knows why, it would help me greatly,
(its in file called carc.h)
looks good I think, should work in VisualC++. I had CodeWarrior from earlier and shockingly it couldn''t handle classes in headers. Maybe that''s your problem.

I''m trying to compile it in DJGPP compiler, and I tried compile it in my main source code and that would work either. So someone told me to try and put it in a header file.
What you have is fine. Since you have all the members of your class defined as public, it''s a little shorter to make the thing a struct instead. In C++, the only difference between a class and a struct is that a class''s default member access is private, while struct''s is public.
So, now we get to the problem. Again, what you have looks just fine. I assume that you''re implementing that class in some source file named, for example, carc.cc (for all GCC-derived compilers such as DJGPP running on a case-insensitive file system like you have in DOS and Windows, the conventional file extension for C++ source files is .cc):
Whether or not you already know how to implement classes, I described it there just to cover bases, so don''t be offended. ; That should do the trick. I''m sorry I can''t be more helpful at the moment. If you continue to have problems, tell us which error messages DJGPP gives you.

what compiler are you using ??
visual C++

sounds silly, but that cause me problem in the past.
{ Stating the obvious never helped any situation !! }

#if !defined(CARC_H) #define CARC_H #endif sounds silly, but that cause me problem in the past.

You try to compile it with gcc?
try gxx (I think... It''s been a long time since i last used DJGPP).

Thanks for all your help, but I still can''t get it to work. I tried using gxx but that didn''t work either.
Here are the errors I get when I compile:

...and u linked it with stdcxx.a library when u compiled with gxx? ex. gxx -o foo.exe foo.cc -lstdcxx
C sources are compiled with gcc. C++ sources are compiled with gxx.
It concerns me that your C++ source file has a .c extension. That signifies that the source file contains C code, when it really contains C++ code. So, I''d suggest that you make sure your C++ source files end in .cc (or .cpp, but that goes against the GCC convention). That shouldn''t be the problem, but it''s something you should be aware of.
I think that the only way we''ll be able to help you is if we see your actual source.

You should rename car.c to car.cpp or car.cc. The compiler in DJGPP (gcc) determines the source language by looking at the extension of the filename. If it's .c, the file will be compiled as C. If it's .cpp or .cc, it will be compiled as C++. On DOS/Windows, .cpp is the most common extension for C++ files. On Unix and Linux, .cc is more common.
Using gxx doesn't really help: it links the C++ libraries (for iostream for example) with the object files. If you use gcc, you have to specify those libraries yourself by using the -l commandline option.
Judging from the error messages you posted, it seems the file is indeed compiled as a C source file.
