Why cant I create a instance of the class Bor in Consumer? Look at the following reduced example.
##main.cpp
#include "Consumer.hpp"
#include "Bor.hpp"
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
Bor bor;
return 0;
}
This here is the consumer:
##consumer.cpp
#include "Consumer.hpp"
#include "Bor.hpp"
Consumer::Consumer(Bor& bor) :
bor(bor) {}
void Consumer::startConsumeLoop() {}
The consumers header:
##consumer.hpp
#ifndef CONSUMER
#define CONSUMER
#include "Bor.hpp"
class Consumer{
public:
Consumer(Bor& bor);
void startConsumeLoop();
private:
Bor& bor;
};
#endif
This is the Bor:
##Bor.cpp
#include "Bor.hpp"
#include "Consumer.hpp"
Bor::Bor(){}
The bor header:
##Bor.hpp
#ifndef BOR
#define BOR
#include "Consumer.hpp"
class Bor{
public:
Bor();
};
#endif
Here is the command i run to compile:
clang++ -std=c++11 Consumer.cpp Main.cpp Bor.cpp
and the error:
./Consumer.hpp:6:11: error: unknown type name 'Bor'
Consumer(Bor& bor);
./Consumer.hpp:8:2: error: unknown type name 'Bor'
Bor& bor;
