Your structs are declared in main and are therefore out of scope in function.h.
You could fix this defining the structs in function.h

Aside from your scope issue you have 6 identical structs. Inheritance exists for a reason.

You shouldn't have spaces in between the . and the poperty for one thing. axeman.att , not axeman. att . As a complete side note it's spelled "rogue", "rouge" is makeup. Also, what is in show.h you haven't posted the code. Or test.cpp for that matter.

i changed axeman.att , not axeman. att . But the error still there.
show.h actually is my function.h. i save show.h in my program. But i post here, i write as function.h.

ShawnCplus 456 Code Monkey Team Colleague · Answer 3 · 2009-05-05T22:17:15+00:00

so function.h is actually show.h and main.cpp is actually test.cpp? Yeah, that's not confusing at all.

Why?!

axeman // this
. // is
att // a legal
= 40; // text

May be I don't understand your statement?

A) It's annoying, B) It's bad form, C) could break some IDEs, D) Hard to debug (not necessarily in his case but definitely in yours) having a dot on a line by itself.

I have no ideas but that's counter-question:
anyone have idea on line main.cpp:40 contents?
