C++ 常见错误收集

两个C++编译错误及解决办法--does not name a type和field `XX' has incomplete type

编译错误一：XX does not name a type

编译错误二：field `XX' has incomplete type

 

编译错误一：XX does not name a type， 中文意思为“XX没有命名一个类型“

拿个例子来讲，如果两个类定义如下：

class B{

public:

B(){}

~B(){}

private:

A a;

};

class A{

public:

A(){}

~A(){}

private:

int a;

};

编译成则将报一个error："A does not name a type"

报错的位置为红色那一行。

即使clase A和class B分别在两个文件定义，并且在定义B的文件头中#include了class A的头文件也同样会报这个错（这是因为编译和链接之间的先后关系造成的）。

解决该错误的办法：

在class B定义声明之前先声明一下class A, 如下：

class A;

class B{

public:

B(){}

~B(){}

private:

A a;

};

class A{

public:

A(){}

~A(){}

private:

int a;

};

 

编译错误二：field `XX' has incomplete type

同样紧跟上面的例子，通过问题一的办法，第一个错误已经消失，但是马上第二个错误就出现了！还是同一个位置。

这个错误的意思，就是说class B中的XX域的类型不够完整，为什么呢？明明class A后面已经定义好了啊。其实原因还是和前面一样，在class B定义之前，我们也只是对class A进行了声明而并没有进行具体的定义，所以解决该错误的方法是：

将class B定义中的A域改用指针就行了。改正后代码为：

class A;

class B{

public:

B(){}

~B(){}

private:

A *a;

};

class A{

public:

A(){}

~A(){}

private:

int a;

};

这样，这段简单的代码才能没有错误的通过编译。

C++: "Cannot call member function without object"?

I get the following error when I try to compile my code in Code::Blocks:
"cannot call member function `std::string Battle::GetAnimationName()' without object|"

This is my code:
class Game
{
public:
···// some other variables and functions
···void PlayAnimation(string animation = GetAnimationName()) {
······// the rest of the function is redundant
···}

private:
···string GetAnimationName() {
······string animation;
······// algorithm that changes the value of 'animation'
······return animation;
···}
};

I can't figure out what the problem is.

@MJordan1: Nope, doesn't work. It tells me that "`this' may not be used in this context". (I copy pasted your code.)

EDITED:

define function GetAnimationName() as static function so that you can call it without need object.

// static string GetAnimationName() {
