Hi!
I switched from Microsoft Visual C++ 6 to Code::Blocks.
First it works fine... but soon i get an error.
I wanted to create a class... but why it dont works?
Code:

class Test
{
public:
Test();
~Test();
protected:

private:

};

But when i compile it ... i get some errors:
error: syntax error before 'Test'
error: syntax error before '{' token

When i compile it with MSVCPP 6 it works fine...
Any ideas?

Additionally I have got a dislike in the Class Wizard Plugin:
I think it should be more integrated.
And the Filenaming for the class CTest... is ctest.cpp and ctest.h... where can I change the
Filenaming to Test.cpp...

I don't know about the compiler errors.. your code compiles just fine under MinGW. Are you sure there's not an included file somewhere that screws it up?

This files compiles fine under my VC Toolkit 2003 as well...

Could you specify exact steps you take after C::B startup until you get these errors?

Maybe here? :?
Anyway, it is rather good practice to name your source files just the same as the class they implement.

...ehm... 3 days lasted since install... but i uninstalled code::blocks and installed it again... but no change  :(
Everytime he say he doesn't know class ... that's confusing because he knows public: and private:, but when he gets to
protected: he writes a syntax error  :x
... i think the problem is caused by the code::blocks editor... i compiled it with code::blocks and the microsoft visual c++ 6 compiler and it dont work...
Edit: I think the compiler or the editor interprete it like a function... because when i change the Position of the classname to the end he wants to have brackets... Example:

class
{
public:
CTest();
~CTest();
protected:

private:

} CTest;

Now he wants brackets:


class()
{
public:
CTest();
~CTest();
protected:

private:

} CTest;
But its definately Wrong!!! Any ideas?

Are you sure your file is saved with *.cpp extension? I get similar errors like yours when I save it as *.c :)
