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

Remember that you can only use preprocessor symbols in preprocessor conditionals.

Most likely Player::race is not a preprocessor symbol

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.
