Question

Here’s what I have now in MyClass.hpp:

class CLASS
{
    public:
        class AAA
        {
            public:
                char c_str[1024];
        };

        class BBB
        {
            public:
                int count;
        };
};

extern class CLASS              CLASS;
extern class CLASS::AAA         AAA;
extern class CLASS::BBB         BBB;

MyClass.cpp:

class CLASS                 CLASS;
class CLASS::AAA            AAA;
class CLASS::BBB            BBB;

Access to the elements:

AAA.c_str = 0;
BBB.count = 0;

But I want to get this one access variant:

CLASS.AAA.c_str = 0;
CLASS.BBB.count = 0;

… or …

CLASS:AAA:c_str = 0;
CLASS:BBB:count = 0;

… so what I should to do with it? :c

Answer 1

AAA and BBB are free-standing objects, not objects inside the CLASS class. You have to declare the objects inside the CLASS class for it to be possible:

class CLASS
{
public:
    class AAA { ... };

    class BBB { ... };

    // Declare object of the above classes
    AAA aaa;
    BBB bbb;
};

CLASS cls;

cls.aaa.c_str[0] = 0;
cls.bbb.count = 0;
