    Chicken or the Egg problem...

    Having trouble with some code, does anyone know how to do this:

    class Location contains a vector of pointers to Boxes. struct Box contains a Location for that Box.

    Whichever is declared first does not have the definition of the other. Any ideas?

    Does this help?
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <vector>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    typedef struct BOX_STRUCT
    {
    	int	Length, Width, Height, Volume;
    	vector<BOX_STRUCT>::iterator	BoxLocation; // vector iterator to self
    } Box;
    
    class Location
    {
    public:	
    	Location() {}
    	~Location() {}
    
    	vector<Box>		ListOfBoxes;
    };
    
    int main()
    {
    	Location	MyBoxes;
    	Box		CurrentBox;
    
    	MyBoxes.ListOfBoxes.push_back(CurrentBox);
    	
    	// Do your thing...
    
    	return 0;
    }
    I'm not real heavy on STL, so this may not be "correct," but it compiles.

    The egg came first. But that's OT
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
