Thread: RE: [Dev-C++] compiler error ?!?

Can you show us the header code you have defined for the class method in
question?

It sometimes helps if we can see the code to understand what went wrong.

It could possibly be that you have declared and defined the method in the
header, something like...


class wibble
{
public:
 int get_wibble() {};
...
};

Here you have defined the method get_wibble and created an empty definition
of the code. Remove the superfluous {} and add the following in to the .cpp
file...

int wibble::get_wibble()
{
 return 1+1;
}

Regards,

James.

Hi folks,

I deklarated a class 'Gerts' with some methods in a header file named
'GERTS.hpp'
The Implementation of that constructor and the  methods are contained in
a file called 'GERTS.cpp' which contains the precompiler command
#include "GERTS.hpp".

The compiler complains now with the following error message:
    7 gerts.cpp `Gerts::Gerts()' has already been declared in `Gerts'
which points to the constructor.

It is the same with all the deklarated methods:
    83 gerts.cpp `Gerts::RegPicture(Picture *)' has already been
declared in `Gerts'
    98 gerts.cpp `Gerts::GetMaxNumberOfPics()' has already been declared
in `Gerts'
    ... (and so on for ALL 32 methods)

Has anybody a idea what went wrong?


Gregor

You got it!

First I usualy write the *.cpp-Code and copy the first line into the
header-file
My header looked like this
    int get_wibble(void){

! but without a closing curly bracket !

All other methods of that class got a correct header. But ALL methods of that
class got declared as wrong by the compiler, weird?!?

ThanX so far :-)
