Problem defining vector iterator

[PaperPilot]

I have defined a vector and its iterator as such:

typedef std::vector< WindsTableElement > WindTable;
WindTable wt_;
WindTable::iterator windIterator_;

I get no errors during compile, but during linking I get:

PPC604gnu/WindDataReceiveBuffer.o(.bss+0x4): multiple definition of `windIterator_'
PPC604gnu/BufferServer.o(.bss+0x0): first defined here
PPC604gnu/WindDataReceiveBuffer.o(.bss+0x8): multiple definition of `wt_'
PPC604gnu/BufferServer.o(.bss+0x4): first defined here
PPC604gnu/WindDataReceiveBuffer.o(.text+0xeec): In function `global constructors keyed to wt_':
: multiple definition of `global constructors keyed to wt_'
PPC604gnu/BufferServer.o(.text+0x15f8): first defined here
PPC604gnu/WindDataReceiveBuffer.o(.text+0xf04): In function `global destructors keyed to wt_':
: multiple definition of `global destructors keyed to wt_'
PPC604gnu/BufferServer.o(.text+0x1610): first defined here

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

It appears that you are linking two .o files which both declare the same variables.

That's what I would have thought, but a search shows that these variables only show up in one .cpp file.

Are you also defining these variables in a matching .h file? If you have delcared them in your .cpp file and then also delcared them in the .h file you have an ambiguous situation, and the complier doesnt like ambiguity.

Thanks, your analysis was partially right; it set me on the right track. I defined the problem code above the class definition. I moved this:

WindTable wt_;
WindTable::iterator windIterator_;
 

inside the class definition. The typedef defining WindTable had to remain where it was. I am not sure why, but now it works.

Cool - glad to know it works!
