Thread: vector of a class declared outside of dll

I'm getting these 2 errors:
14 K:\game\dll\level1\Level1.cpp `Enemy' is not a type
14 K:\game\dll\level1\Level1.cpp request for member of non-aggregate type before '.' token

and warnings from this code
I'm new to dlls and vectors and have no idea what i'm doing

what's wrong with my code and what's line 7 to 11 in Level.h do?

Level1.cpp

Code:

#include "Level1.h"
#include <windows.h>

#include "..\..\source\enemy.h"

extern std::vector<C_Level*> Level;
extern std::vector<C_Enemy*> Enemy;

__declspec(dllexport) void Level1()
{
     Level.push_back(new C_Level);
     
     POINT P[] = {{0,0},{1,1},{2,2},{3,3},{5,5},{7,7},{12,12},{19,19},{20,20},{24,23}, {NULL, NULL}};
     Level[0].Enemy.push_back(new C_Enemy("enemy1", 10000, P)); //ERROR HERE
}

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain (HINSTANCE hInst     /* Library instance handle. */ ,
                       DWORD reason        /* Reason this function is being called. */ ,
                       LPVOID reserved     /* Not used. */ )
{
    switch (reason)
    {
      case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
        break;

      case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
        break;

      case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
        break;

      case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
        break;
    }

    /* Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure */
    return TRUE;
}

Level1.h

Code:

#ifndef LEVEL1_H_INCLUDED
#define LEVEL1_H_INCLUDED

#include <vector>
#include <windows.h>

#if BUILDING_DLL
# define DLLIMPORT __declspec (dllexport)
#else /* Not BUILDING_DLL */
# define DLLIMPORT __declspec (dllimport)
#endif /* Not BUILDING_DLL */

__declspec(dllexport) void Level1();

#endif

thanks in advance

Code:

Level[0].Enemy.push_back(new C_Enemy("enemy1", 10000, P)); //ERROR HERE

Okay, I guess, each C_Level has a vector of C_Enemy *, and then you are adding one. I think what you might want is

Code:

Level[0]->Enemy.push_back(new C_Enemy("enemy1", 10000, P));

So, I don't think that this is needed

Code:

extern std::vector<C_Enemy*> Enemy;

Just a note

Code:

POINT P[] = {{0,0},{1,1},{2,2},{3,3},{5,5},{7,7},{12,12},{19,19},{20,20},{24,23}, {NULL, NULL}};

First and last elements { 0, 0 } and { NULL, NULL } are the same.

I made the changes but now i get the errors:
[Linker error] undefined reference to `Level'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `C_Enemy::C_Enemy(char*, unsigned int, tagPOINT*)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `Level'

isnt "->" and "." the same thing?

Code:

#include "Level1.h"
#include <windows.h>

#include "..\..\source\enemy.h"

extern std::vector<C_Level*> Level;
//extern std::vector<C_Enemy*> Enemy;

__declspec(dllexport) void Level1()
{
     Level.push_back(new C_Level);
     
     POINT P[] = {{0,0},{1,1},{2,2},{3,3},{5,5},{7,7},{12,12},{19,19},{20,20},{24,23}, {-1, -1}};
     Level[0]->Enemy.push_back(new C_Enemy("enemy1", 10000, P));
}

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain (HINSTANCE hInst     /* Library instance handle. */ ,
                       DWORD reason        /* Reason this function is being called. */ ,
                       LPVOID reserved     /* Not used. */ )
{
    switch (reason)
    {
      case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
        break;

      case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
        break;

      case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
        break;

      case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
        break;
    }

    /* Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure */
    return TRUE;
}

Code:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `Level'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `C_Enemy::C_Enemy(char*, unsigned int, tagPOINT*)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `Level'

Well, you told the compiler that 'Level' was defined somewhere else with this statement:

Code:

extern std::vector<C_Level*> Level;

And apparently it isn't. You also told it that C_Enemy has a constructor that takes 3 arguments (c-string, uint, array of points), but apparently it does not.
