Thread: C++ help

Been a long long time since I've written anything in C++, I'm getting back into it. I need a little help, because I don't understand the errors Here's the error and the setup of the groups. I have other files that try and create the same type of objects and they don't give me errors.

Can you post the contents of Body.h

Bien Sur

Code:

#ifndef BODY_H
#define BODY_H

#include "Object.h"
#include "Limb.h"

class Body{
    public:
        Body();  // parameterless default constructor
	private:
		Object torso;
		Object neck;
		Object head;
		Limb leftarm;
		Limb rightarm;
		Limb leftleg;
		Limb rightleg;
};

#endif

Hmm, don't know why the indents came out like that

Ok,
You're allocating the objects dynamically (using new)
so the members in Body.h need to be pointers
(new returns a pointer to the object on the heap)

Code:

    private:
        Object* torso;
        Object* neck;
        Object* head;
        Limb* leftarm;
        Limb* rightarm;
        Limb* leftleg;
        Limb* rightleg;

Either that,
or change how you allocate the objects in Body.cpp

Instead of

Code:

Neck = new Object();

Use

Code:

Object Neck();

(whether you allocate dynamically or not is down to exactly how you're going to be using the objects later on - if they're large, dynamic's always a good idea, as there's limited space on the stack)

Ooooh. Damn university taught me java, is there ever a more useless language? Is there a good C++ book like 'C in a nutshell'?

Hey, it compiles!
