Hi I would like something else... I think I wasn't specific enough.. let's try again :) I have: SampleClass object; While parsing gcc will try to find what 'SampleClass' is, but because it was not defined by user it will signal an error. Generally I would like to avoid getting an error without modifying source given above, so I would like to create programmically a simple class when it's impossible to find it. By 'create programmically' I mean: write a function which will create a tree_node (I think it's needed) representing a class named 'SampleClass' and then add it to the tree representing source code. Function would called when there's no definition for 'SampleClass'. 2009/8/1 Amittai Aviram <amittai.aviram@xxxxxxxx>: > On Aug 1, 2009, at 5:11 AM, Klesk wrote: > >> Let's say I have code like this: >> >> SampleClass object; >> >> which of course fails to compile because there is no SampleClass. >> >> How to programmically create a class named SampleClass to make it >> possible to complie ? >> >> >> -- Klesk > > > Hi, Kiesk! > > #include <iostream> > > class SampleClass { > private: > int id; > public: > SampleClass() { > id = 42; > } > int get_id() { > return id; > } > }; > > int main(int argc, char ** argv) { > > SampleClass object; > std::cout << object.get_id() << std::endl; > return EXIT_SUCCESS; > } > > > Do you mean something else?
