Iinclude guards not working?
Author
Whenever I try to include this in more then one .cpp file, I always get a multiple definition error. I thought include guards were supposed to prevent that? What am I doing wrong?
Also, the namespace isn't necessary. Pretty much anything I put in there will cause the same error.
Post the actual error you're getting because I suspect it's a linker error, not a compiler error. If a function is defined in a header it needs the inline keyword. If it's not really appropriate for inlining it should be in a .cpp file, not a header

That's a link error; include guards only prevent multiple passes over the header during the preprocessor phase (and thus only prevent multiple definitions within the same translation unit). Since each translation unit is compiled in isolation, however, you'll get a definition per-TU and thus a multiple-definition error when the linker tries to assemble the final product.
Kylotan's article has more details.

Do you define global variables in the header? That doesn't work. You need to declare them with the extern keyword, and have a definition in one cpp file only.
