Help on warning: non-static const member in class without a constructor

[zhixin_han]

Following warnings are found in my application:

..../adm_std_mo_descr.h:240: warning: non-static const member `const
struct std_tee_t std_mo::tee' in class without a constructor
..../adm_std_mo_descr.h:244: warning: non-static const member `const
char *const std_mo::name' in class without a constructor

The header file looks as the following:

typedef struct std_tee {
const unsigned int size;
} std_tee_t;
typedef struct std_mo {
const std_tee_t tee;
const char* const name;
} std_mo_t;

I am wondering what the problem is. I tried to write a small test
program, but it compiles without such warning.

I am using gcc2.7.2 on Tornado/VxWorks.

Thanks a lot for your help.

You don't have to look any further than this first error message.

Since the C language neither has the classes nor the constructors that
your compiler is complaining about, you are not compiling your code with
a C compiler.

Use a C compiler on your C code, and see if that fixes your problem

C doersn't have classes or constructirs, you appear to be trying to
compile your code with a C++ compiler. Solution: compile C code with a C
compiler.

....
I am using gcc2.7.2 on Tornado/VxWorks.

Compilers are often sensitive to the extension of the source filename.
Make sure it is .c rather than, sap, .cpp or .C

No such thing as a constructor, or a class, in C. Perhaps you want C++
or java.

I need assistance coming up with a clean way to handle filename
extensions with my application.

While I can come up with several ways of doing so on my own, I felt
perhaps it would be worth asking here to see what more effective or
accepted methods for doing would be presented.

The issue is this. My application accepts files names, intended for
a cross platform unix and windows environment, from the command line.
So the application may get a file name '/home/joe/myExample.ct',
'C:\Work\myExample.ct' or more generically 'myExample.ct' My
application is to convert the data in the .ct file, into something new,
then enter the data into a file in the local directory the application
was executed named 'myExample.out'.

Is their a simplified way to handle this problem?

Tony

problem? What problem?

FILE *fin, *fout;
char *inputfile = argv[1]; /* for example */
char *outputfile = "myExample.out";

fin = fopen( inputfile, "r" );
/* don't forget to test for success */
fout = fopen( outputfile, "w" );
/* ditto on success check */
/* now read from fin, process, and write to fout */

comp.lang.c++ is down the hall on the right. The C language does
not have those things.

Thanks everybody. I finally found that option "-x c++" is among the
options used in gcc. That explains it.

A new kind of bug: the compiler option bug :-)
