I have a structure defined in main.cpp file and i want that same structure with value to be visible in other cpp file.
I tried this and this is way out of understanding for me as a beginner. So i re-ask the initial question again but in a simple way.
main.cpp
#include<iostream>
extern struct abc
{
int a;
std::string bla_bla;
};
void display(abc (&)[2]);
int main(void)
{
abc put[2];
put[0] = {10,"Apple"};
put[1] = {20,"Ball"};
display(put);
}
other.cpp
#include <iostream>
extern abc;
void display(abc (&put)[2])
{
std::cout << put[0].a << '\t' << put[0].bla_bla << std::endl;
std::cout << put[1].a << '\t' << put[1].bla_bla << std::endl;
}
it shows error a storage class can only be specified for objects and functions
and i am using c++17
is there any way to make that one structure visible to every cpp?
thanks in advance
EDIT: I got it need to keep the struct in .h file
