This is nothing to do with Visual Studio, it is purely down to the way the compiler reads the sources, possibly because you are effectively including foo.h twice in coo.cpp. Try adding the following line to all your header files:
#pragma once
|
|
|
|
|
#pragma once is the first line in every header but in one where it gets replaced by
#ifndef XXX
#define XXX
....
#endif If the header was being included several times the linking errors would be constantly coming (or at least I would expect it), and not that sporadic or depending if the word "inline" is there or not in a single function (there are a lot of things "not inlined" in that header that should trigger it).

Are you telling me the compiler is not part of VS?

I suspect there may be some part(s) of your code that we are not seeing. Maybe you should open a proper question with complete details.

Of course it isn't. I do lots of compiling and linking outside of Visual Studio, calling the compiler directly.

I have edited the original message, changing a bit the names, I hope it now makes more sense .

Over 8k Lines, but I think I have really extracted the relevant parts.

Don't blame MS. It is C/C++.
foo();
Is indeed incompatible with void foo()
The first is implicitly int foo() according to the C language standard!
I'm not sure why a cleanup helped though...

Note: I believe you, but don't really understand it
I am just calling one function in a place that is declared in another place. That makes a change of type?
I am editing the original question to give another kind of names, not that I just messed it up.

I have edited the OP...
Which means... your quote would now be...
megaadam wrote: function01();

is it still what you say, with the new names in original post?
If yes... I still don't understand it

I suggest you try changing the forward declaration:
from: function01(); to: => void function01();
In C++ void func() is different from void func(int i) they are two different function types/signatures that can coexist due to overloading. The return type is also part of of the function type/signature.
What I do not understand how your code could compile at all. I would expect the build to always fail. But maybe there was an object file left over from a previous build with another function signature but same name?

I always use warning level 4 and warnings==error with my code and a function without a return type would trigger a warning which would cause the compilation to fail.

the function01() in myApp.cpp is not a declaration... is the call to that function of the subModule

Quote: // a bit of stuff for the test
function01 ();//line XXX
// not much more
You omitted possibly important stuff.
if it is something like
void foo()
{
function01 ();}
then it is a function call, you are right and the compiler is wrong.
On the other hand, if
function01 (); stays freely outside a function definition then it is interpreted (actually compiled  ) as function declaration, therefore megaadam remarks apply and you are wrong.

Hi Carlo
yes, I forgot to put the "main ()"
just added it in "Edit3".

I just re-created the code (without any extra)...
inline.h
#pragma once
inline void function01()
{
}
main.h
#pragma once
#include "inline.h"
main.cpp
#include "main.h"
int main()
{
}
function01();
Got two very clear errors:
E0311 cannot overload functions distinguished by return type alone -> inline.h 3
E0260 explicit type is missing ('int' assumed) -> main.cpp 7
The problem is that C++ is not JavaScript... That function01(); is not a function call but a definition (a re-definition)...
Moving it inside main() (or any other method) will fix any problem...

Here's a quick one:
One may fail to explore Earth (8)
[EDIT]
The answer is: EXAMINEE (charade)
explore - EXAMINE
EARTH - E
one may fail - EXAMINEE (definition part)
