error 2514 again...

[Nosferatu]

Ok, the problem seems to be my approach to the problem.

I have several classes that are crossreferencing each other via pointers.

What i do:

1. Include "common.h" header.
2. Declare a class in a header file and use the pointers to other classes declared in "common.h".
3. Add in "common.h" header the typedef for a pointer to the new class :

 typedef class myClass * PmyClass;

What is happening is that when i try to dynamically create a new class, i get the 2514 error (class has no cosntructors). It wasn't related to NamedNodeMap as i previously thought. So, each time i try to use the following:

PmyClass pc = new myClass(something);

i get the error...

I hope i was clearer this time.
Thank you all!

Just a thought... I am not sure if this will work but...

try typing

class myClass;

at the top of the file you're getting the error in

Ok everybody... I found the problem...
The problem was that i wasn't saying
" #include "the_other_class_definition_file.h" in the CPP file where i was using it, supposing the automatic use of the precompiled headers in Project Options will do the trick.
But, since i have not specified the "through header" field there, i suppose the precompiled headers were simply not built or used (even if the pch file is in my Debug sub-directory). I don't get it...

Anyway, the problem was solved by including the header where the class that was dinamically allocated was defined in the file where i was trying to create the object and everithing started to work...

The error 2514 was generated i think because of the typedef in the "common.h" header i mentioned earlier.
Anyway, this is a really stupid error to get, the proper error message should have been something like "usage of unknown struct/class/union ****classname****" or something like that...

Thanks anyway Matt, i've tried that too... actually, i don't know what i haven't tried so far beside the "include" thing... Nosferatu
