c++ enum

vendtagain · 01-24-2010, 01:10 AM

Code:

enum Eitem =   {XCAM,YCAM,ZCAM,
		XCEN,YCEN,ZCEN,
		XROT,YROT,ZROT,
		XSHIFT,YSHIFT,ZSHIFT};
Eitem avind;

Eitem getwhat(std::string awhat);

with this code I'm getting

"use of enum 'Eitem' without previsous declaration"
and
"Eitem does not name a type"

whats wrong here?
doesn't make sense to me.
am I missing something?

Code:

enum Eitem = {XCAM,YCAM,ZCAM,XCEN,YCEN,ZCEN,XROT,YROT,ZROT,XSHIFT,YSHIFT,ZSHIFT};

Code:

enum Eitem {XCAM,YCAM,ZCAM,XCEN,YCEN,ZCEN,XROT,YROT,ZROT,XSHIFT,YSHIFT,ZSHIFT};

looks like you have an = to much in your code, trial this for declaration

enum Eitem
{
XCAM,YCAM,ZCAM,
XCEN,YCEN,ZCEN,
XROT,YROT,ZROT,
XSHIFT,YSHIFT,ZSHIFT
};

ah ok, thank you, that makes sense

What *doesn't* make sense is why C++ enum's are still so crappy - even now, in 2010! - compared to Pascal "enumerations" (25++ years ago).

I'll take Delphi over C++ any day. Or Objective-C. Or C# or Java. *ANYTHING* but C++...

Sigh ...
