C++ :: Declare Static Variables In Header File
Oct 15, 2013I read in another forum that it is bad practice to declare static variables in a header file? Is that true and if so why.

C++ :: How To Declare Class As Forward In Header File - Regular Use In CPP File
Jan 17, 2015lets say we have a valid class with full implementation, X. can this class be declared as forward in Y header file:
Code: class X;
class Y{
X* m_X;
}
but still be used as regular in the cpp file?
Code:
#include "Y.h"
#incldue "X.h"
T Y::function(){
m_X->doSomething();
}
visual studio prevents me from doing it , I wonder if the standard also says so.
C++ :: Â modifying Several Variables Via Header File
Feb 18, 2014I'm trying to split up my game (about 1300 lines) into header files, but I'm coming up with a problem whenever I try and put a function in a header file, when that function was modifying some variables that were defined before int main in the .cpp. For example:
int variable1 (0);
int variable2 (0);
void increasevariables() {
variable 1 = variable1 + 1;
variable2 = variable2 + 1;
[code].....
If it only modified one variable then I could just pass that variable and the return it:(return variable1 + 1;)But I don't know how to make a function in a header file modify several pre-existing variables. In the actual program, the variables are dependant on each other and the modifying is a lot more complicated, so I'd rather not split it into several functions and run one at a time if there's another way.
C++ :: How Come Header Variables Are Not Recognized In Its CPP File
Feb 24, 2014I declared 3 private variables in header file.
I try to access one of the variable in its corresponding cpp file but I get an error message saying it's undefined. I did #include the header file. Why is this?
C++ :: Create Header File In Which Can Change Value Of Variables

Mar 10, 2013I need to write a C++ program, that extracts certain variables, x y z, from a file that is continuously being updated x y z. These variables are going to be used to recalculate a new answer.
My question is to see if it is possible to have an include .h file that is always being updated so that I can extract these three variables from it, and always have the newest venison of each variable, so that the answer to the equation is always the newest updated. Should I use fopen or fwrite to do this.
C/C++ :: Main Function Can Only Declare Variables And Functions
Mar 9, 2015I need making my main function to run while not having any if or for statements. It can only declare variables and functions. Since my main function has command line arguments, how to so.
// This program counts all the words in a given file.
#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
FILE* txtFile = NULL; // File Pointer

C :: Need Of External Keyword In Order To Declare Variables Globally
Jan 30, 2014I think there is no always need of keyword extern in order to declare variables globally. Is it right?
For example I can declare a variable globally in one file and use it in some other provided that I have included the last one file ( that has the declaration of the variable of course) and compile these files together :
gcc -c f1.c f2.c for example
C :: How To Make Main Function Only Allowed To Declare Variables And Functions
Mar 6, 2015So I need to make a main function have no if/for/etc. statements so I need to move it to another function and call it in main. The problem is that it's a command line argument function so I'm confused on how it works. Here's an example:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("The program name %s", argv[0]);
if (argc == 2) {
printf("Argument supplied is %s", argv[1]); }
else if (argc > 2) {
printf("Too many arguments");}
else {
printf("One argument");}
}
How can i make this into two functions with main only declaring variables and calling other functions?
C :: Compiling Sudoku Program - Declare Constant Instances As Global Variables

C++ :: Static Variables In Classes
Mar 1, 2013If I have a static variable in a class e.g. a pointer to another class like this: (B is another class)
class A {
public:
static B* cB;
};
Then I set that variable and create multiple instances of class A like this:
A::cB = new B;
As = new A[Number];
Then will the value of cB be the same across all instances?
I cannot pass the class pointer in the constructor as I need to create an array of instances. I tried this method but I get linker error.... unresolved external.
C++ :: Static Vs Ordinary Variables?
Jul 26, 2014Is it more expensive to use too many static variables instead of ordinary variables? If yes, then how?------------This is a topic given to me to find out about and I don't even know what are static variable except that they live throughout the life of program
and only disadvantage of using static variable instead ordinary variables in my mind is just they will use memory even when we don't need them
C :: For Static Variables When Memory Will Be Allocated?
May 21, 2013For static variables when the memory will be allocated? During compilation or linking or loading time? In below program i am getting error :

C++ :: Using Global Variables In Static Library
Jul 22, 2014Is it possible to use & change global variables in a Static Library? For example:
I declare a
bool test = true;
globally.
Then later in an exported function If the user wants, he can set that test to false. So the program later when checks test if it's true, will notice that it's not true, since one of my function changed it.
Is it right?
Visual C++ :: Static Variables Local Or Global?
Mar 10, 2014I came across the following code today and I was a bit surprised that it worked:-
Code:
std::string func_A () {
static std::string x;
if (!x.empty())
return x;
[Code] ....
I've simplified things slightly - but the basic point is that both functions are in the same source file and they both have a static std::string called 'x'. Being static, I guess they aren't (strictly) local variables. So how does the compiler know that they're different entities? Does it encode their signatures using the function name or something like that? If I call each function separately I do seem to get the correct string...

C++ :: Declare A Struct / Class In A File For Local Use But With Internal Linkage?
Mar 15, 2013I've been wondering about something for a while:
Is it possible to declare a struct/class, in a cpp file, designed for local use, but with internal linkage?
The usecase is that every once in a while, I want to wrap "startXXX+endXXX" function pairs in a simple RAII struct. I just declare the struct in my cpp and use it once.
However, if I do this, (AFAIK), the compiler will generate an entry in the link table, which means I could potentially have link conflicts if I declare the same struct twice in two different cpp files.
Unless I'm mistaken, since the struct is declared in the same cpp that it is used, I wouldn't need external linkage. Is there a way to avoid it?
C++ :: Do Static Functions Have Access To Non Static Data Members Of A Class
Apr 17, 2013From my book:
"A static function might have this prototype:
static void Afunction(int n);
A static function can be called in relation to a particular object by a statement such as the following:
aBox.Afunction(10);
The function has no access to the non-static members of aBox. The same function could also be called without reference to an object. In this case, the statement would be:
CBox::Afunction(10);
where CBox is the class name. Using the class name and the scope resolution operator tells the compiler to which class Afunction() belongs."
Why exactly cant Afunction access non-static members?
C++ :: Accessing Non-static Members Inside Static Member Functions

C++ :: Splitting Template Class To Header H File And Implementation CPP File
Sep 12, 2014What is the right syntax for implementing the .cpp of a template class?
Consider this LinkedList.h file:
Code: #include<iostream>
#include"Iterator.h"
template <class T>
class LinkedList {
[Code] ....
How should the implementation for the LinkedList constructor, for example, should look like in the LinkedList.cpp file?
I tried this:
Code: #include "LinkedList.h"
template <class T>
LinkedList<T>::LinkedList<T>() {
// constructor
}
LinkedList<T>::~LinkedList<T>() {
// destructor
}
But the compiler wouldn't accept it.
C :: How To Share Variable Value From One Source File To Other Header File
Dec 11, 2014I wanted to share the value of a variable from Sender Program to Receive after program and want to calculate difference between send and receive. After studying Header file concept I program following three.
Now I am struck. How to to compile? I link all these file. I used following method:
Code:
gcc Sender.c -o Sender Sender.h
gcc Receiver.c -o Receiver Student.h
Then I run Sender and after that Receiver.I per my knowledge, Receiver should give difference but it gives error :
Code:
Receiver.c: In function "main":
Receiver.c:10:42: error: "Send" undeclared (first use in this function)
printf(" Total Receive is %d

C++ :: Invoke Enum Class From Header File To Cpp File
May 21, 2014I have been working a project in C++. I have TTTMain.cpp file that has all the function calls, TTTFuntions.cpp that has all the functions, I have TTT.h file that has all the prototypes and variables and additionally I have Winner.h that has enum class Winner declaration in it. Here is my block of codes:
Winner.h file:
#ifndef winner
#define winner
enum class Winner {
[Code]....
My question is when I compile this gives me error on
Winner gameSquares[] = { Empty, Empty,Empty, Empty, Empty, Empty, Empty, Empty, Empty };
with saying "invalid use of non-static data data member" and It says "Empty was not declared in this scope."
I know calling enum is very very trick.
