Ally::Ally(char* n, int jobclass)
{
   Character::setName(n);
   this->image= NULL;
}
Ally::~Ally()

}
void Ally::setCurrentSprite(int index)
{
   currentrect->w = 64;
   currentrect->h = 64;
   currentrect->y = 0;
   currentrect->x = index*currentrect->w;
}
SDL_Surface* Ally::getCurrrentSprite(){ return image; }


So why is this happening? I want the code to return the SDL_Surface image. It should be perfectly legal, shouldn't it, even though I have not generated any actual content for the SDL_Surface object???

How many 'rrr's?
SDL_Surface* getCurrentSprite();

SDL_Surface* Ally::getCurrrentSprite(){ return image; }

Spot the difference.

Nevermind. I got it. I moved the definition of getCurrentSprite from ally.cpp to ally.h and it worked. Also, I see in the above listing that Ally:getCurrentSprite has too many 'r's in it. That was probably why. And here I was thinking that I wouldn't learn anything from this experience.
