Thread: Objects pointing to each other

I have two classes, and I want each to contain a pointer to the other. How do I do this?

(the first is declared, but the 2nd hasn't been, so the compiler doesn't know the type that the pointer is pointing to)

To show what I mean:

Code:

class a{
	b* pnt;
};

class b{
	a* pnt;
};

It's called a forward declaration. You should generally use instead of an include when you can, even if you don't have the circular reference.

Cool. Thanks!
