passing class pointers in a class method

[jerryd]

cplusplus forum,
I need to pass a pointer to One class in a function of Another class.

ex:
class One
{
public:
};

class Another
{
public:
void function(One* one)
{ do stuff; };
};

main()
{
One one;
Another another;
}

The compiler error is syntax error: identifier 'One'

What am I missing here?

Seems OK.

class One
{
  public:
};

class Another
{
  public:
    void function(One* one)
    { };
};

int main()
{
  One one;
  Another another;
  another.function(&one);
}

Salam,
Yes it seems OK but the compiler doesn't like it.

If I make the function global it compiles without error.

Post the exact source code that exhibits the problem. Psuedocode is not helpful.

Obviously we cannot identify specific syntax problems in a program we can't see.

#include <iostream>

class One
{
public:
    int data;
    One(){data = 99;};
};

class Another
{
public:
    Another(){};
    int function(One* );
};

int Another::function(One* one) // <-- possibly Another:: missing?
{
    return one -> data;
}

int main()
{
    One one;
    Another another;
    
    std::cout << another.function(&one) << '\n';
}
