#include nested too deeply error

[guru23]

Hello everyone,

My Xcode is acting all crazy for some reason by giving me this error on all of my #include's that says, "#include nested too deeply". Is there a way to fix this so I can use Xcode normally again? It's only happening in my Game header file.

#include <iostream>  // #include nested too deeply (is what the error says)
#include <string>    // #include nested too deeply
#include "Game.hpp"  // #include nested too deeply
using namespace std;

looks like a cyclic include...

//...
#include "header2.h"
//... 

header1.h

//...
#include "header1.h"
//... 

header2.h

So how should I go about fixing this?

Well, you would have to find out what the dependancy is and move it (breaking the cycle).

It's a bit hard to say more than that as it stands.

Try include guards.

If you use Visual Studio you can also use #pragma once at the begin of the header file.
