Thread: Mutual linking

Hi everybody!

I have a short question about mutual linking (this is what I call it, I don't know if it's the right name...)

I have 2 classes and they both have members of the type of the other class:

//header.h

class cls_one
{
cls_two * member;
};

class cls_two
{
cls_one * member;
};

obviously this doesn't compile, but this is the way I want to do it. Is there a way to do this?

thanks

Joren

You need to put a forward declaration in your code so that cls_one knows about cls_two.

Code:

//header.h 
class cls_two;

class cls_one 
{ 
	cls_two * member; 
}; 

class cls_two 
{ 
	cls_one * member; 
};

Thanks! That worked
