[Dev-C++] Project in DevCpp4 (files 'n stuff)

[<ste...@ge...>]

Hi all!

I having serious problems with my projects... I would like to split my code
up into some different files, to make it more ease to navigate. But, when I
put functions all around different files, they cant call eachother, if that
makes any sense.

Example:

main.cpp:

#include "file01.cpp"
#include "file02.cpp"
void main(void)
{
	wierd(); //works Ok :/
}

file01.cpp:
void bob(void)
{
	blabla
}


file02.cpp:
void wierd(void)
{
	bob(void) //isn't working!
}


And the files ARE include to my project, and everything seems to be right,
but it isn't working for me... what's wrong??

Thanks! :)

hi,

if i iunderstand you right, you should use header files.

basically, the function 'bob' which you call from within file02 has to =
be declared in file02. a declaration is just the function head and a =
terminating semicolon, i. e.

  void bob(void);

in your file02, before you first use bob().

but when function 'bob' along with other functions from file01 is used =
in many files, that's much work. on the other hand, you cannot include =
file01 in file02, because file01 would then be included twice in =
main.cpp.

so you should create a header file for 'file01.cpp', name it 'file01.h' =
and include it in every file that uses things from file01.cpp:

file01.h:

  blabla
  void bob(void);  // declaration
  blabla

file02.cpp:

  blabla
  #include "file01.h"
  blabla
  bob();

if you use this mechanism (.h / .cpp), you should, maybe later, also use =
it in your main.cpp.

hope i could help you.
