Re: 'Function' a reserved word???

Hi, Tom -

Nope, no spelling errors. And 'Function' is perfectly descriptive - it's a
MathEngine library and the Function class encapsulates a user-specified
mathematical expression and it's equivalent tree structure.

: P

: )

Seriously, though...

Here's a snippet showing the test case. This is from the header of a file
containing definitions for variable node classes. One of these is a
'FunctionNode' class that allows functions to refer to one another in their
expressions (e.g., F1 = F3 /2.0). The FunctionNode objects are passed a
pointer to a Function object in their constructor. If that pointer is called
'Function*' I get the error. If I call it anything else, it works (it works
as shown, spelled 'Funcshun').

Any ideas? I mean, I suppose I could call it something else, but 'Function'
is appropriate and I'd like to know why it doesn't work!

namespace MathEngine

{

class Funcshun

{

};

//----------------------------------------------------------------------

class FunctionNode : public TreeNode

{

public:

FunctionNode(NodeInfo* info, int parenthesis, CoreFunction* owner, Funcshun*
reference);

~FunctionNode(){};

};

}

//----------------------------------------------------------------------

namespace MathEngine

{

FunctionNode::FunctionNode(NodeInfo* info, int parenthesis, CoreFunction*
owner, Funcshun* reference)

: TreeNode(info, parenthesis, owner)

{

}

}
