I have in my class definition the following enum:
static class Myclass {
...
public:
enum encoding { BINARY, ASCII, ALNUM, NUM };
Myclass(Myclass::encoding);
...
}
Then in the method definition:
Myclass::Myclass(Myclass::encoding enc) {
...
}
This doesn't work, but what am I doing wrong? How do I pass an enum member correctly, that is defined inside a class for member methods (and other methods as well)?
I'm not entirely sure why you're using "static class" here. This boilerplate works just fine for me in VS2010:
class CFoo
{
public:
enum Bar { baz, morp, bleep };
CFoo(Bar);
};
CFoo::CFoo(Bar barIn)
{
barIn;
}
This code is fine:
/* static */ class Myclass
{
public:
enum encoding { BINARY, ASCII, ALNUM, NUM };
Myclass(Myclass::encoding); // or: MyClass( encoding );
encoding getEncoding() const;
}; // semicolon
Myclass::Myclass(Myclass::encoding enc)
{ // or: (enum Myclass::encoding enc), they're the same
// or: (encoding enc), with or without the enum
}
enum Myclass::encoding Myclass::getEncoding() const
//or Myclass::encoding, but Myclass:: is required
{
}
int main()
{
Myclass c(Myclass::BINARY);
Myclass::encoding e = c.getEncoding();
}
Update your question with the real code and errors you're getting so we can solve real problems instead of fake ones. (Give us a * compilable* example that reproduces your problem.)
enum type is not required as the scope of the function declaration/definition is that of the class.class Myclass {
...
public:
enum encoding { BINARY, ASCII, ALNUM, NUM };
Myclass(enum Myclass::encoding);
...
}
Myclass::Myclass(enum Myclass::encoding enc) {
...
}
Just just forgot the enum keyword in the parameter.
enum's, but perhaps not. Either way, this won't fix his problem because, assuming it is valid, it's just equivalent to his own code: it's not needed.
Myclass:encoding; that has nothing to do with it's type or value. So it's just equivalent to what the questioner already has posted (just elaborated), so thusly doesn't fix anything.Remove the static. Generally, mentioning the exact error will help you get better answers.
See this:
You reference it differently depending on the scope. In your own class you say
Myclass(encoding e);
static classtrying to achieve?
