Thread: Chat Bot: Multiple headers problem

Hey guys, im experimenting with custom header files. Problem is, i've never done this before. Below is a zip of the .cpp and .h files, heres the error that im getting. I think it has to do with the orders i include the headers in the actual headers.

Error:

Compiling...
RoDBoT.cpp
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\rodbot\greet_user.h(2) : warning C4182: #include nesting level is 362 deep; possible infinite recursion
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\rodbot\greet_user.h(2) : fatal error C1076: compiler limit : internal heap limit reached; use /Zm to specify a higher limit
Error executing cl.exe.

RoDBoT.obj - 1 error(s), 1 warning(s)

It looks like you have a cylical #include

Do you really have to have both the files get_info.h and the greet_user.h in all the files..
To me that seems a bit messy. What happends if you just include the file in convo.h or RoDBot.cpp??

#include "greet_user.h"

that is in get_info.h

#include "get_info.h"

that is in the greet_user.h

That is where the cylical include error is coming in.

I would recomend that you recode you headders so that they both do not need to includ each other.

at the top of each of your .h files put something like this..


#idndef CONVO_H
#define CONVO_H

..... all code here


#endif




do this for each .h (with different names obviously) and it will make sure each file is only included once (despite how many #include 's there are)

Same error prespective:

it worked for me; (although i had to comment out all the function code as i got some other errors and was missing some include files.) but there was no infinite recurrsion in the including

are you putting the #endif 's after the entire file?
