Thread: inclusion guard help

Hello I am trying to make a game and i disided to break it up into several files using headers to hold all the variables and that kind of stuff but i need to include the headers into all of the CPP files so i know i need to use inclusion guards but they just dont seem to work at all. its like the preprocessor just skips over the #ifndef command can some one help me with this?

i have a book that says to use this set up:

Code:

#ifndef Lybraries_h           // the book says that the file name does need to be capital
#define Lybraries_h

// everthing here

#endif

You did pick a different name for each file right?

If my header file is say myfuncs.h, then it's include guard would be
#ifndef MYFUNCS_H_INCLUDED

If you pick the same #define name for different files, then yes the latter ones will be skipped.
