Thread: Creating a class instance (am i going insane?!)

Here is the code, tried fixing it for a hour now...

I get

Code:

|12|error: 'Transmittance' was not declared in this scope
|12|error: expected ';' before 'PropylAcetate'

Thank you for returning my sanity!

main.cpp:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>

#include "reinterpret.h"
#include "Transmittance.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    Transmittance PropylAcetate(3696);

    return 0;
}

Transmittance.cpp

Code:

#include "Transmittance.h"

Transmittance::Transmittance(int SIZE)
{
    ifstream ifs ("jon_spec.SPA", ios::in|ios::binary);

    if (ifs.is_open())
    {
        TransmittancePercent* = new float [SIZE];

        ifs.seekg (0x568, ios::beg);
        ifs.read( addr(TransmittancePercent), sizeof(TransmittancePercent) );
        ifs.close();
    }

    else
    {
        cout << "Unable to open SPA file";
    }

}

Transmittance.h

Code:

#define TRANSMITTANCE_H
#ifndef TRANSMITTANCE_H

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


class Transmittance
{
    private:
    float* TransmittancePercent;
    float start, end, multiple;
    int size;

    public:
    Transmittance(int);

};


#endif

Those first two statements are the wrong way around - the #ifndef will always be false, so the code that declares the class will never be seen by the compiler.

Silly me, thanks!

On a side note, it's poor style to have "using namespace" in a header.
