Trouble with SDL_Rect

Code:

---

SDL_Rect r;

r.x=16;//Removing this line clears errors

---

produces:"Expected constructor destructor or type conversion before '.' token'.

MinGW, WinXP

That code on its own looks fine. Can you show some of the surrounding code?

main.cpp:

Code:

---

#include "includes.h"


SDL_Rect r;

r.x=16;










int main ( int argc, char** argv )

{

    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
    if(Init(1)==false)
        {
            printf(SDL_GetError());
            return 2;
        }


    atexit(SDL_Quit);


    SDL_Surface* screen =SDL_SetVideoMode(600, 480, 32,SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_DOUBLEBUF);
    if ( !screen )
    {
        printf("Unable to set 640x480 video: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
        return 1;
    }


SDL_Surface *bg=load_Image("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Make.YOUR-6JNHHU0520\\Desktop\\C++\\SDL\\Game Engine\\img\\sky.png");
SDL_Surface *sprites=load_Image("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Make.YOUR-6JNHHU0520\\Desktop\\sprite sheets\\finalfantasy.gif");


AppSurface(0,0,bg,screen,NULL);
AppSurface(250,250,sprites,screen,NULL);

//
//SDL_BlitSurface(bg,NULL,screen,&r);

    bool done = false;
    while (!done)
    {
        SDL_Flip(screen);
        SDL_Event event;
        while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))
        {
            // check for messages
            switch (event.type)
            {
                // exit if the window is closed
            case SDL_QUIT:
                done = true;
                break;

                // check for keypresses
            case SDL_KEYDOWN:
                {
                    // exit if ESCAPE is pressed
                    if (event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_ESCAPE)
                        done = true;
                    break;
                }
            } // end switch
        } // end of message processing
    }

    SDL_FreeSurface(bg);
    SDL_FreeSurface(kube);
    printf("Exited cleanly\n");
    return 0;
}

You can't put actual statements, like r.x = 16 outside of function bodies. If you move that to main, it will fix that error.

Declaring your SDL_Rect r as a global variable is a bad choice (in fact, i believe firmly that global variable should never be used except in really special case when there's no others options).

That said, CrazyNorman gave the answer (answer i didn't even thing heh).

It's one at night. I didn't really feel like going into the code too much.

Yes, that was the problem, thank ppl :D
