Thread: Error with class me,bers

In currently programming a simulation of algorithms to allocate memory. And it's giving me an anoing error with the class' definition. I can't tell why.
I feel extremly noobed!!!

Code:

//memory.h
struct Block{
	ADRESS adress;
	SIZE_T size;
};

#define DEFAULT_REGION_SIZE ((SIZE_T)1024)
#define BASE_REGION_ADRESS ((ADRESS)1024)

const int MINBLOCKSIZE = 4;
enum AllocEnum{ALLOC_FIRST_FIT,ALLOC_BEST_FIT,ALLOC_WORST_FIT};

class Region: private Block{	
	friend Block alloc_first_fit(Region& region, SIZE_T _size);
	friend Block alloc_best_fit (Region& region, SIZE_T _size);
	friend Block alloc_worst_fit(Region& region, SIZE_T _size);
	friend bool free(Region& region,DWORD adress);

	Block (*falloc)(Region& region, SIZE_T _size);

public:
	Region(	ADRESS base = BASE_REGION_ADRESS,
			SIZE_T _size = DEFAULT_REGION_SIZE,
			AllocEnum allocator = ALLOC_FIRST_FIT);
	Region(const Region&);

	inline ADRESS getBaseAdr() const;
	inline SIZE_T getSize() const;

	ADRESS alloc(SIZE_T _size);
	bool free(ADRESS adr);
};
//memory.cpp
Region::Region(ADRESS base,SIZE_T _size,AllocEnum allocator) :
	adress(base), size(_size),//error were
	falloc(allocator==ALLOC_FIRST_FIT?alloc_first_fit:
	(allocator==ALLOC_BEST_FIT?alloc_best_fit:alloc_worst_fit)){
}

Region::Region(const Region& rg) : adress(rg.adress),
	size(rg.size), falloc(rg.falloc){//error here
}
//errors
error C2614: 'Region' : illegal member initialization: 'size' is not a base or member
error C2614: 'Region' : illegal member initialization: 'adress' is not a base or member
error C2614: 'Region' : illegal member initialization: 'size' is not a base or member
error C2614: 'Region' : illegal member initialization: 'adress' is not a base or member

Isn't Region suposed to inherit Block? The errors are in the constructors.
NOTE: I don't want to skip the problem declaring the vars elsewhere. Thank you for your attention

you can not initalize a base class' variables directly you have to call the base class' constructor from the init list

also as a note leading _ variable names are reserved for the compiler

edit: hmmmmm just noticed that block is a struct. try using something like Block::size = _size (not 100% sure on that)

edit 2: I just noticed you were using private inhertance on Block. Instead use composition ie:

Code:

class Region
{
  Block block;
  // other stuff
  public:
  Region(/*parameters*/) :
    block.size = _size
  {}
}

>>But anyway, Block became class, which has a constructor.
Well, struct can have anything that class can have. As far as I know, the only difference between the two is that struct is all public by default, while class is all private/protected by default

Code:

struct Block
{
   Block() {...}
   //variables
};
