Wierd Errors

[tomtetlaw]

When I compile my code, I get these errors:

The only file that is mine out of those errors is time.h:

#ifndef TIMER_H
#define TIMER_H

#include <ctime>

class CTimer {
    clock_t counter;
public:
    CTimer(): counter(0) {}

    bool elasped(clock_t ms)
    {
        clock_t tick = std::clock();

        if(tick - counter >= ms)
        {
             counter = tick;
             return true;
        }

        return false;
    }
};

#endif //TIMER_H

Can someone help me to fix these errors?

>>The only file that is mine out of those errors is time.h

name your heder file something else because your header file named time.h is most likely conflicting with the standard heder file time.h. namespaces do not resolve conflicts of file names.

[tomtetlaw]

I meant timer.h, sorry

[Ancient Dragon]

Without seeing the rest of the code I can't tell you why those errors occur in the standard library time.h file. Post baseanimating.cpp (or just attach it if it is pretty large file)

The declaration of class CBaseAnimating is missing a semicolon.
