I've had this problem before. Something like this:
// a.h
#include "b.h"
class A
{
public:
A();
A(B& data);
int var;
};
// b.h
#include "a.h"
class B
{
public:
B();
B(A& data);
int var;
};
As you can see, both classes need each other's files. You cannot do this,
either you'll be using an endless loop or you'll be smart and use what John
told you to do. Either way, however, one of the files isn't going to have
access to the other's data. So what you need to do is declare, but not
define the information:
// a.h
class B; // declaration
class A
{
public:
A();
A(B& data);
int var;
};
// b.h
#include "a.h"
class B
{
public:
B();
B(A& data);
int var;
};
This will work. I always put a
#pragma once
in my header files, but not all compilers support that. They function
exactly the same way as what John told you to do, it's just less coding.
It's a good idea, it'll protect you from including files more than once (and
then getting a billion redefinition errors).
