I'm trying to make a simple Objective-C++ applicaiton. All of my code is compiling fine, including the use of C++ in Objective-C classes, until I try and add a C++ class to the mix. I've created a simple C++ class:
Test.h
class Test {
};
and included this file in a Objective-C class (with a .mm extension) and I get the following build error:
error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'Test'
Clearly I'm missing some simple concept here. I'd appreciate some enlightment.
Well, after scanning more closely over Apple's Documentation, it looks like the answer to to use the __cplusplus preprocessor flag in the header file. Here's what the code looks like now:
#ifdef __cplusplus
class Test {
};
#endif
helixed's answer will not help, your class will be just skiped by preprocessor if __cplusplus undefined.
Most of all you trying to include C++ class from *.m file, try to rename it to *.mm. This solve the same problem on my side.
In Xcode 6 there is the following option:
Apple LLVM 6.0 - Language -> Compile Sources As
You can set that to Objective-C++ and then the file extension does not matter. This is particularly useful if you are working cross-platform and need to use other file extensions.
