Thread: Error Msg

I have been going through the search and I am still stuck...I keep getting "cannot create pre-compiled header: code in header"


I read that it means as it says but I dont know what to do about it. Someone pls, pls tell me how I go about getting rid of this error. I have 4 .h files and 2 .cpp files.

Code:

.h files and their includes

bstree -> #include "btnode.h"
dictionary -> #include "btnode.h"
                  #include "bstree.h"
                  #include "mystring.h"

.cpp files and their includes

main -> #include "dictionary.h"
dictionary - > #include "dictionary.h"

NB:
I am using borland.

Thanx

> cannot create pre-compiled header: code in header
It means you have code inside the header file

Code:

void foo ( void ) {
  cout << "hello";
}

What you should have in the header is only
void foo ( void );

And put the actual code in a .cpp file.

I do...but they are templates. This has not caused any problems before.

If Borland doesn't support templates in precompiled headers then you either have to stop using precompiled headers or stop using Borland, as I don't think you want to stop using templates.

I dont get what a precompiled header is Maybe someone could tell me, so as I might be able to try and solve this problem.
