I have managed to solve this myself by moving the #include for part_time.h to the top of the #include list. Why this made a difference, I have no idea.
I'm having an issue with one manual object construct call after splitting my program into a makefile. Each .cpp has an include for it's .h, and main.cpp includes every .h as well.
The relevant code is below. The errors are:
main.cpp: In function ‘void add_part_time()’: main.cpp:166:2: error: ‘part_time’ was not declared in this scope part_time part_time1(name, forklift, annual_leave, sick_leave); ^
main.cpp:166:12: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘part_time1’ part_time part_time1(name, forklift, annual_leave, sick_leave);
Something weird I've noticed. If I delete the ; after the sick_leave definition line, then the only error I get is the same one asking about the missing ; and the other error disappears.
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class employee
{
public:
static int count;
employee (std::string name);
string name;
~employee();
};
employee::employee (string set_name)
{
name = set_name;
}
employee::~employee()
{
}
class dockhand: public employee
{
public:
dockhand (string set_name, bool set_forklift);
float start_shift;
bool forklift;
float payrate;
~dockhand();
};
dockhand::dockhand (string set_name, bool set_forklift) : employee (set_name)
{
forklift = set_forklift;
start_shift = 4.00;
}
dockhand::~dockhand()
{
}
class part_time: public dockhand
{
public:
part_time (string set_name, bool set_forklift, int annual_leave, int sick_leave);
float end_shift;
int annual_leave;
int sick_leave;
~part_time();
};
part_time::part_time (string set_name, bool set_forklift, int annual_leave, int sick_leave) : dockhand (set_name, set_forklift)
{
end_shift = 8.00;
payrate = 22.00;
}
part_time::~part_time()
{
}
void add_part_time()
{
string name;
bool forklift;
int annual_leave;
int sick_leave;
name = "bob";
forklift = true;
annual_leave = 2;
sick_leave = 3;
part_time part_time1(name, forklift, annual_leave, sick_leave);
}
Yet the exact same format compiles just fine below with another class.
void add_casual()
{
string name;
bool forklift;
name = "bob";
forklift = true;
casual casual1(name, forklift);
}
I'm stuck as to what the problem is. Commenting out the construct line makes it compile so it's definitely something there.
EDIT Changing the part_time part_time1(name, forklift, annual_leave, sick_leave); line to the casual constructor call makes it compile fine with a makefile. So even with the includes being correct there is still something wrong with that particular line.
