LNK2005 error

[Taran]

Hi all,

I have this config.h file which has all the declarations for the vars
being used in the application. There are no compilation errors but link
errors for all the vars declared in this "iof_config.h" file.

I am unable to understand that even though the file is inclusion
protected and there are only declarations why is this error.

The file App.obj just incudes iof_library.h. The vars declared in this
iof_library.h are not declared anywhere else. And only the vars in this
file are causing this link error.

Am I missing something here?

I am using MVisual Studio 6.

Thanks in Advance.

You aren't showing all the code. "populate()" isn't even *in* the header
you posted.

The simple answer is, contrary to your assertion, there are not "only
declarations" in one or more of your header files.

The header you posted has several definitions in it for example.
C_Queue<Queue_Element>* Producer[Produced_Items];
C_Q_Iterator<Queue_Element>* Consumer[Consumed_Items];

int empty_producer_indices[Produced_Items];
int empty_consumer_indices[Consumed_Items];

All of the above are definitions and should not be in a header file that
is included in more than one source file.

Just before, the error lnk2005 like
" EdgeH3.obj : error LNK2005: "public: virtual void __thiscall
EdgeH3::set_order(unsigned int,enum IAGEnums::Order,bool)"
(?set_order@EdgeH3@@UAEXIW4Order@IAGEnums@@_N@Z) has defined in
BoundaryInfo.obj
Element.obj : error LNK2005: "public: virtual void __thiscall
EdgeH3::set_order(unsigned int,enum IAGEnums::Order,bool)"
(?set_order@EdgeH3@@UAEXIW4Order@IAGEnums@@_N@Z) has defined in
BoundaryInfo.obj ."
has encountered to me,, goole the webside, some useful suggestiones
have not break in my mide. So, we search codes, and then, we find that
the "inline" has been lost before defing the inline member functions(
EdgeH3::set_order(unsigned int,enum IAGEnums::Order,bool) ). at last,
my project can linked successfully after the lost " inline" words has
been added.
So, i think that maybe is the "inline" words lost before the inline
function in the header files.
