Friend Class, Forward Declarations

[djwilliams 0]

Hi

I have been trying to get the following to work

 

class TimerInterrupt: public Interrupts

{

public:

 

};

 

 

class Timer

{

 

public:

friend class TimerInterrupt; //A friend class

Timer(void);

int GetCount(void) { return Count;}

private:

 

class TimerInterrupt* InterruptPtr;

int Count;

 

};

 

 

Are friend classes supported? Also how are forward declarations declared?

 

// forward declarations

class Timer;

class UART;

class DUART;

 

The class declaration will attempt to construct the objects if this syntax is used, how do you work round this? or is it not supported?

 

Many thanks

Dave

Forward declaration is now supported starting from 6.82

Hi Pavel

I have declared the Timer class at the top of the file like so

 

// forward declarations

class Timer;

 

class Interrupts

{

..................

}

class TimerInterrupt: public Interrupts

{

public:

TimerInterrupt(Timer* ownerptr){

InterruptOwnerPtr = ownerptr;

Reg(TIMER_INTERRUPT_NUMBER, this);

}

TimerInterrupt(int i){

 

}

virtual void ISR(int intNumber);

private:

class Timer* InterruptOwnerPtr;

 

};

 

class Timer

{

//friend class TimerInterrupt;

 

public:

Timer(void); //ERROR missing RIGHT BRACE

int GetCount(void) { return Count;}

private:

TimerInterrupt* InterruptPtr;

int Count;

};

 

and the above error at the Timer(void) constructor keeps appearing. If I get rid of the code that requires the forward timer declaration and the Timer forward declaration then it compiles okay

Many thanks

Dave

Looks like compiler problem. We work on a fix.
