Here is my source code:
header file:
class Variant
{
public:
typedef enum
{
INTEGER,
FLOAT,
BOOL,
STRING,
VECTOR2,
VECTOR3,
VECTOR4,
MATRIX3X3,
MATRIX4X4,
NULL_VARIANT
} TYPE;
Variant()
: m_VariantType(NULL_VARIANT)
{}
...
float operator[](int a_iIndex) const;
...
private:
...
};
implementation file:
...
float Variant::operator [](int a_iIndex) const
{
if(a_iIndex > 15) // invalid index
assert(false);
else if(a_iIndex > 8) // can't be a matrix3x3 or vector
assert(m_VariantType == MATRIX4X4);
else if(a_iIndex > 3) // can't be a vector
assert(m_VariantType == MATRIX3X3 ||
m_VariantType == MATRIX4X4);
else if(a_iIndex > 2) // can't be a vector3 or vector 2
assert(m_VariantType == VECTOR4 ||
m_VariantType == MATRIX3X3 ||
m_VariantType == MATRIX4X4);
else if(a_iIndex > 1) // can't be a vector2
assert(m_VariantType == VECTOR3 ||
m_VariantType == VECTOR4 ||
m_VariantType == MATRIX3X3 ||
m_VariantType == MATRIX4X4);
else if(a_iIndex < 0) // invalid index
assert(false);
return m_FloatArray[a_iIndex];
}
...
Visual Studio 2008 is giving me error C2373: 'Variant::operator []' : redefinition; different type modifiers
So it seems that if operator[] is defined twice then i would be able to comment out the definition for Variant::operator[] in the implementation file and I wouldn't get any linking errors if I used that function in another file.
However, that is not the case.
I researched this error and it seems to be a bug with Visual Studio 2008, but I'm really not sure. I installed SP1, hoping to have that "bug" be fixed. But the error still occurs. It seems that a lot of people had this issue when migrating code from previous version of VS to 2008, but I started this project in 2008.
Does anyone see this cause of this error?
Thanks,
