Interested to know how you can answer this, not so simple, issue, but struggle with the ones below, which are basic C.
|
|
|
|
|
I have never learn C, just c++ ... and this code where I am working on is written for Linux, and for other compilers than VS. That is why I got tones of errors, one of them I don't know how to handle them without broke the functionality (I cannot try what I modify, so I am working blind).

I have met an error that I cannot rid of:
error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'mode_t'
The fact is that this 'mode_t' is not declared in my sources, and I haven't founded on internet ... how can I get rid of this error ? Thank you for any hint, any suggestion !

Thank you Victor. Might be the late hour, I have seen that page, and I included
<sys/stat.h>
no change ...
|
|
|
|

I would guess that in some other platform it is used to refer to the following line of the stat type:
unsigned short st_mode;
Which you could verify by checking the original source.
So you could just add the following above your includes
typedef unsigned short mode_t;

Here is the code that generate the error:
sc->flags |= flag;
where flag is FILE_FLAGS, and sc->flags is
struct scr {
....
....
FILE_FLAGS flags;
....
};
Now, of course that I'ave tried:
scr& operator|=(const scr& rhs)
{
return *this;
}
but this error doesn't disappeared ... have you met this kind of error ? I have to mention that I wrote here the simplified code ...

Where is FILE_FLAGS defined? IN your code, or in a system header?
|
|
|
|
|
Is defined inside of one of my code header:
typedef enum {
FILE_READONLY = 0x00000001,
FILE_HIDDEN = 0x00000002,
FILE_SYSTEM = 0x00000004,
FILE_DIRECTORY = 0x00000010,
FILE_ARCHIVE = 0x00000020,
FILE_DEVICE = 0x00000040,
FILE_NORMAL = 0x00000080,
FILE_TEMPORARY = 0x00000100,
....
.....
}FILE_FLAGS;
|
|
|
|
|
This works but is not really correct.
sc->flags = FILE_FLAGS(sc->flags | flag);
I suspect the issue is that enums are usually used to signify single values, i.e the flags field is either FILE_READONLY or FILE_SYSTEM, but not both. If you need to combine values then you should really use a set of #define statements.

Thank you Richard, that error has vanished, but I cannot try this code yet ... why do you say that this solution is not really correct ? The safe solution would be to overload |= operator, but I cannot do that into enum, right ?

_Flaviu wrote: why do you say that this solution is not really correct ?
Because, as I mentioned before, enums are used to indicate a set of possible values for an item. For example a class of type Car could contain an enum that indicates the manufacturer, such that the enum definition is:
enum manufacturer
{
AUDI = 1,
BMW,
DAIMLER,
MERCEDES,
}
And you would never combine thos values in the car type variable.
So, in your case you should use #define statements, which the compiler will be happy with.

|

But this enum is not a part of any struct or class, is just defined into a header file, along with other several enum's ... and this enum has a lot of values, that is why I intend to avoid to translated as #define's ... I don't know what to do ...

But the issue is, as I keep repeating, that this is not the correct way to use enums. If you want to combine flag values then use #define, if you want to select one value from a set then use enum. That is the rule for C and C++, and that is why the compiler complains about your code.
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you Richard for your patience. BTW, is a legacy code, is not written by me. There will be more suitable to chnage this enum to a struct and where to overload |= operator ?

Why would you change it to a struct, it only requires a single integer variable to hold all the flags.
int flags = FILE_READONLY | FILE_HIDDEN;
flags |= FILE_SYSTEM;
|
|
|
|
|
So the finest solution is to take these values from enum and put them as #defines. I will do this change.
|
|
|
|
|
I am afraid that I cannot change that enum into #defines, because I have:
na->flags |= flag;
where
FILE_FLAGS flag;
and
na is struct level1, and inside this level1 struct, I have
struct level1
{
FILE_FLAGS flags;
....
};
I have entered in some deadlock ? Please help me to solve this error ...
|
|
|
|
|
Try to declare both flags and flag as int
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but FILE_FLAGS is enum with int values ...
|
|
|
|
|
Then, as Richard already suggested replace this enum with a set of #define.
|
|
|
|
|
Agree, but that enum is a part of another struct ... so, how can I put as part of a struct several #defines ?
|
|
|
|
|
Of course you can change it to #defines. The definition of FILE_FLAGS then becomes an int type. And then the rest of the code should compile correctly.
