Thread: Preprocessor Directives Problem

Hi,

I got a source code with these preprocessor directives:

Code:

#if Player::race = 0
#include "warrior.h"
#elif Player::race = 1
#include "conjurer.h"
#elif Player::race = 2
#include "wizard.h"
#endif

And I have a meaning that the warnings I get is somehow the reason for my program getting some errors about some classes in some different files than my main file.
Anyway, my warnings for the code is:

Code:

d:\c++\text_based_game\race.h(9) : warning C4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
d:\c++\text_based_game\race.h(9) : warning C4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
d:\c++\text_based_game\race.h(11) : warning C4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
d:\c++\text_based_game\race.h(11) : warning C4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
d:\c++\text_based_game\race.h(13) : warning C4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline
d:\c++\text_based_game\race.h(13) : warning C4067: unexpected tokens following preprocessor directive - expected a newline

Can somebody give me a hand with my problem?
Thx in advance.

All I can say is that looks like realy bad programming... (at least in C++ terms). do you happen to have the rest of the code? the problems I get with only that is that you can't use '::' or '=' in preprocessor directives. the following compiles just fine though:

Code:

#if race == 0
#include "warrior.h"
#elif race == 1
#include "conjurer.h"
#elif race == 2
#include "wizard.h"
#endif

of course, I still get errors about those files not existing, but that can't be helped. If you #include <iostream> instead, you only get errors about the lack of a main routine.

it looks like they were attempting some kind of bizzare form of inheritance or something...

Hmm...
The int race, is a member of a Class(Player), so I can't use that it works without.
But thx, for giving it a great try

Well, I've spotted a problem that might solve it. Actually your post gave me the reminder, so thx for posting :P

Well this is my class player:
There also is a problem with the string name, my compiler complains about the lack of a ";" before the string name line.

Code:

class player
{
	public:
		player(int hp, int mp, int lvl, int att, int def);
		~player();
		int getHP() {return HP;};
		int getMP() {return MP;};
		int getLvl() {return Lvl;};
		int getAtt() {return Att;};
		int getDef() {return Def;};
		void LvlUP();
		string name;

	protected:
		int race;
		int HP;
		int MP;
		int Lvl;
		int Att;
		int Def;
};

are you sure you properly defined the string class? by that I mean you need the following lines before the class:

Code:

#include <string>

using namespace std;
//or
using std::string;

No, that's what I forgot. I'm new to classes, so they are pretty bad written.
But I think I've found the right road again, thx.
