I have two programs, ProgramA and ProgramB, they both use a common
header, well I am wanting to use a common header, if possible. This is
similiar to what I have, in ProgramA.h I have the code:
#if !defined(Progra mA)
#define ProgramA
The problem is, that it always goes into the #else section, am I
missing something?
//Rules.h
#if !defined(RULESI ncluded)
#define RULESIncluded
#ifdef ProgramA
#include "Branch.h"
#include <vector>
class Rules
{
public:
Rules(char *iniFile);
~Rules();
static inline bool IsValid(char* text);

private:

public:

This seems like an awfully complicated construction. What are you
really trying to accomplish?
When you say it always goes into the #else section I'm guessing you're
referring to the code below. Keep in mind that unless you #include
"Rules.h" _after_ you #define ProgramA, then ProgramA will not be
#defined when Rules.h is input. It would be helpful if you showed us a
complete set of files that exhibits this problem.
It seems like you're trying too hard to use preprocessor directives.
Since the preprocessor is relatively dumb and the compiler is relatively
smart, it's generally a good idea to rely on the preprocessor as little
as possible.
The #ifndef NAME #define NAME ... #endif pattern is usually employed as
an include guard, i.e., a way to make sure that a header doesn't get
included multiple times during the compilation of a single translation
unit (think .cpp file). It's rather less common to use it to make
logical decisions about what the code should look like and I'd advise
against doing so unless you have good reasons. If the class Rules is
different for ProgramA and ProgramB either make two separate headers or
abstract out only the similar parts, but I'd still recommend the former.
Mark //Rules.h
#if !defined(RULESI ncluded) #define RULESIncluded
#ifdef ProgramA #include "Branch.h" #include <vector>
class Rules { public: Rules(char *iniFile); ~Rules(); static inline bool IsValid(char* text); static Data* GetData(const char* name); private: static std::vector<Dat a*> names_vec; }; #else class Rules { public: Rules(); ~Rules(); static inline bool IsValid(char* text); }; #endif
bool Rules::IsValid( char* text) { //Code Here return true; } #endif This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi All,
i am new to header files , and have a basic question ,
i have made my program in three files namely,

Hi,
In a C++/CLR Windows Forms app I notice that there is only a header and no
..cpp for the form. Also event handler bodies are added by the IDE right to
the header.
What is the philosophy on this?
1. Are C++ and/or C++/CLR classes now intended to be typically implemented
in the header?

Hi
I have the following problem.
I'm calling a webservice from within a VB.net 2005 Windows program.
For this i got a WSDL file and loaded that in VB.
Until now i just call the webservice and everything works OK.
Now i need to add an extra attribute/header element to the SOAP header
before i contact the webservice.
